Solution

  • Sebaceous gland is a small oil-producing gland present in the skin of mammals. They attached to hair follicles and release sebum, into the follicular duct and then to the surface of the skin.
  • Protecting the skin is the main function of Sebaceous Glands. They produce oil that would keep our skin lubricated and protected against germs.
