Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Apocrine glands are responsible for producing the odorous secretions in areas such as the underarms, which are often the target of antiperspirants and deodorants. Eccrine glands produce sweat that is mostly composed of water and electrolytes and doesn't produce odor. Sebaceous glands produce oil for the skin and hair, which may contribute to some odor but is not the primary source of body odor. Mammary glands produce milk and are not typically a source of body odor.
