Question

Which of the following is a derivative of skin which secretes sebum?

• A. Nail
• B. Sweat gland
• C. Sebaceous gland

Answer 1

The correct option is C Sebaceous gland

Sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance or sebum, onto the epidermal surface. Oil serve as a skin lubricant. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles (outgrowths of the external root sheath of the follicle) and secrete sebum into the follicular space.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
