Chapter 5, Problem 23CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Functions of sebaceous secretions
Concept introduction:
The sebaceous glands are exocrine glands present in the skin layer. They secrete sebum, which is composed of lipids like cholesterol and fatty acids. The secretory cells in the skin get ruptured to release the sebum. These secretions prevent the growth of the bacteria or other microorganisms. Sebaceous follicles are present in the skin, which secrete sebum into the epithelial cells.
