Sebaceous glandscontain groups of specialized epithelial cells and are usually associated with hair follicles and secrete an oily mixture of fatty material and cellular debris called sebum which keeps hair and skin soft, pliable, and waterproof, while
sweat glands are widespread exocrine glands in the dermis or subcutaneous line with sweat secreting epithelial cells
There are two types based on glandular secretion.
1. Merocrine is also called eccrine glands. They are coiled in deep dermis and respond to elevated temperature / exercise.
They produce no odor and function throughout life and are not associated with hair follicles. Their secretion is water plus salts and wastes (urea and uric acid).
2. The apocrine glands ducts terminate into hair follicles. They respond to stress / emotions. They produce an odor. They don't begin to function until puberty and continue through life.
They are found in the armpits and groin. They produce sweat plus oil and cellular debris.
In the type of secretion, location, If they are or not associated with hair follicles, and in the stimulus that triggers their secretion.
The secretions of apocrine sweat glands contain more fat and protein than do the secretions of eccrine glands
Apocrine glands which are sweat or sudoriferous glands not sebaceous
No, sebum is produced by sebaceous glands.
sebaceous and sudoriferous glands
Sebaceous Glands and Sudoriferous glands
no they do not because they secrete water to maintain temperature of the body in summer or while we panic there is increase in temperature of the body
Sudoriferous glands are also known as sweat glands.
The two types of sudoriferous glands are the eccrine and apocrine glands.
basically they are both the same thing is just that exocrine glands are sudoriferous glands and they produce sweat.
sweat glands secrete sweat (H20, ammonia, urea, salt) onto skin surface. Function: cooling+ evaporation and removal of wastes Sebaceous gland (oil glands) secrete oil onto hair and skin. Function: prevents drying and protects against bacteria.
No, sebaceous glands have ducts. They are exocrine glands.
No, sebaceous glands have ducts.
