Anal glands are little sacs that are located on either side of the anus with their openings. They are scent glands that have two functions: to produce very strong and pungent scent for marking the territory and to help the body eliminate toxins and substances that are not needed. Melanin actually absorbs harmful UV radiation to prevent it from affecting other cells in your body. The sebaceous glands are microscopic exocrine glands in the skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead cells (corneocytes).
