Question

Write name of oily substance found in sebaceous glands.

Answer 1

Sebaceous glands produce the oily, waxy substance called sebum. Sebaceous glands are found in hair-covered areas, where they are connected to hair follicles. The sebaceous glands are found throughout all areas of the skin except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Sebaceous glands develop from the same tissue that gives rise to the epidermis of the skin.
