The gland that produces earwax is the Ceruminous Gland
exocrine glands
Sebaceous glands (present in outer ear) secrete ear wax (also called cerumen)
ceruminous glands in the ear canalare the ones that prodcue ear wax.
Cerumen glands
The cerumen gland secretes ear wax.
Ceruminous glands secrete earwax.
Ear wax is produced by ceruminous glands.
Ear wax is a normal product of the ear which protects the skin of the ear from water and infection. Ear wax is formed from wax glands in the external ear canal as well as other components such as dead skin, sweat, and oil.
They secrete to the oral cavity.
Exocrine glands are glands that secrete their products to the outside of the body. Examples include sweat glands, which secrete a hypotonic salt solution to the surface of the skin; portions of the pancreas, which secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine; and salivary glands, which secrete saliva into the mouth.
cerumen glands
Ceruminous glands secrete earwax.
Ear wax is produced by ceruminous glands.
cerumen glands
Ceruminous glands in the ear canal make cerumen, or ear wax. They are modified sudoriferous glands, as are the mammary glands.
Bees make wax. They have four pairs of glands on the underside of their abdomens which secrete pinhead sized flakes of wax.

Ear Wax is produced by the ceremonious glands in the ears.
The fine hairs in the external auditory canal help to trap and prevent debris, such as dust and particles, from entering the ear. This helps to keep the ear clean and prevent blockages. The tiny wax-producing glands in the external auditory canal secrete earwax (cerumen) which helps to lubricate and protect the ear canal from infection and irritation.
Exocrine glands are any glands that deposit their secretions through a duct onto a body surface. Because sweat is deposited onto the surface of our skin it would be considered an exocrine gland. Endocrine glands secrete directly into our bloodstream.
Ear wax is secreted by the ceruminous glands of the ears. It functions to protect the ears from outside contaminants. Diseases do not spread well through ear wax, but it may be possible to catch diseases transmitted through body fluids via ear wax.
Most sebaceous glands are on the skin and release oil. There are two types of modified sebaceous glands as well. Mammary glands produce milk, and ceruminous glands in the ear canal produce cerumen, or ear wax.
