What is the name of the gland that excretes water and salt through the skin?

The glands that excrete water and salt through the skin are named the sudoriferous glands. These are also known as sweat glands and are divided into eccrine sweat glands and apocrine sweat glands.

The type of gland that is primarily responsible for the excretion of salt and water is the eccrine sweat gland. This type of sweat gland is located in nearly every area of the skin and is partly responsible for keeping the body's temperature cool. Apocrine sweat glands do not primarily excrete salt and water, and they are found in the pubic regions of the body after a person has reached puberty.
