eccrine glands
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eccrine sweat glands are the most numerous, distributed across nearly the entire body surface area, and responsible for the highest volume of sweat excretion [5]. By contrast, apocrine and apoeccrine glands play a lesser role in overall sweat production as they are limited to specific regions of the body [7–10].

Detailed explanation-2: -Sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, are either of two types of secretory skin glands, eccrine or apocrine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eccrine glands are distributed throughout skin surfaces, numbering between 2 million and 4 million per person, with the highest concentrations in the axilla, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. The sweat response is under hypothalamic thermoregulatory control via the preoptic sweat area.
