What is the function of the wax gland in the ear?
It is produced by the wax glands, known as ceruminous glands, of the ear canal in many mammals including humans. These glands produce a watery substance that acts as a lubricating agent. It is also known to have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Its main function is to protect the inner parts of the ear from dust, dirt, insects and harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. This sticky substance traps these particles and thereby prevents them from entering deeper into the ear canal and eardrum. As a lubricating agent, it protects the inner skin of the ear canal from infection and irritation.
