    Glossary Skin Glands

    specialized structures in skin producing sebum and sweat

    Skin glands are specialized structures within the skin that produce and secrete various substances. The two main types are sebaceous glands, which secrete an oily substance called sebum to lubricate and protect the skin and hair, and sweat glands, which help regulate body temperature and excrete waste products through perspiration. These glands play crucial roles in maintaining skin health and homeostasis.
