Solution

Sweat glands and sebaceous glands present in the human skin. The sweat glands produce a watery secretion and open on to the skin to help control the body temperature and works as an insulator. The sebaceous glands secrete sebum which contains substances that spread along the hair and onto the skin where it keeps the follicle free from dust and bacteria.
