Skin SciencesPregunta 51 de 100

Which statement about the skin's glands is accurate?

a.Sebaceous glands secrete sebum that lubricates the skin, while sudoriferous glands excrete perspiration that helps regulate temperature
b.Sebaceous glands regulate temperature and sudoriferous glands produce oil
c.Both gland types produce only sebum
d.Neither gland type is affected by hormones

Explicación

Sebaceous glands are attached to hair follicles and produce sebum, and sudoriferous (sweat) glands excrete perspiration for thermoregulation and waste removal. Their roles are not interchangeable. Sebaceous activity is strongly influenced by androgens, which is why oiliness and breakouts often shift with hormonal changes.
