Which of the following is NOT a type of skin gland?

Sebaceous
Sweat
Salivary
Sudoriferous

The correct answer is: Salivary

Salivary glands are responsible for producing saliva in the mouth and are not classified as skin glands. In contrast, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and sudoriferous glands are all related to the skin's functions. Sebaceous glands secrete oil that helps to keep the skin moisturized, sweat glands play a key role in regulating body temperature and excreting waste through perspiration, and sudoriferous glands are another term for sweat glands. Since the question specifically asks for a type not associated with the skin, salivary glands clearly fit this criterion as they function primarily in the oral cavity.
