Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the anatomy of a typical salivary gland. Salivary glands are exocrine glands that produce saliva and consist of three main components: acini, ducts, and myoepithelial cells.

Step 2: Acini are clusters of secretory cells that produce saliva. These cells are specialized for secretion and are a fundamental part of salivary gland structure.

Step 3: Ducts are tubular structures that transport saliva from the acini to the oral cavity. They play a critical role in the function of salivary glands by facilitating the movement of saliva.

Step 4: Myoepithelial cells are contractile cells that surround the acini and ducts. Their contraction helps propel saliva through the ducts and into the oral cavity.

Step 5: Sebaceous glands, on the other hand, are not part of salivary glands. They are associated with hair follicles and produce sebum, an oily substance, which is unrelated to saliva production. This makes sebaceous glands the correct answer to the question.
