Question

Write about sweat glands (sudoriferous) oil glads

Answer 1

Sweat glands, or sudoriferous glands, produce sweat to cool the body. Oil glands, or sebaceous glands, secrete sebum to lubricate and protect the skin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sweat Glands: Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous glands, are exocrine glands located in the dermis of the skin. They produce sweat, a salty fluid, which is then released to the surface of the skin through ducts. Sweat glands help regulate body temperature by cooling the body when it becomes warm.

Oil Glands: Oil glands, also known as sebaceous glands, secrete an oily substance called sebum. Sebum lubricates and protects the skin, preventing it from drying out. It also helps inhibit the growth of bacteria on the skin. Oil glands are located in the dermis and release sebum into the hair follicles.

Answer 2

Answer: Sweat glands are two different types; eccrine and apocrine.

Explanation: They are found in the skin's dermis. They are made up of secretory cells which secrete material into its central lumen.

They have an important function of maintaining body temperature [ helping to cool down], getting rid of excess water and salt [through sweat production].

Sebaceous glands are the ones that produce oil that help inhibit bacteria present on the skin from entering the body, preventing death of hair and skin cells, as well as maintaining the skin's ability to remain waterproof.
