Ceruminous gland cells in the ear canal produce ear wax, which is a combination of secretions from these cells and oil glands. These glands do not contain any specific organelles unique to ear wax production.
Our professor of anatomy at the university of Malta says that loud music does not produce more ear wax. She also says that the ear wax is a deterrent for insects like mosquitos.
Ear Wax is produced by the ceremonious glands in the ears.
Not necessarily. Ear wax is produced naturally as a protective coating for the ear canal, and irritation of the canal can cause increased production. When excessive ear wax has been removed, if there is no irritation the production of ear wax should return to normal.
An ear wax candle works by creating a vacuum that draws out ear wax when the candle is lit and placed in the ear. The heat from the candle melts the ear wax, which is then drawn up into the candle as it burns. This process can help to remove excess ear wax effectively.

Ear wax has nothing to do with germs. The eustachian tubes (one on each side) help drain the sinuses and ears. Ear wax is a natural "lubricant" of the ear canal, much like saliva lubricates the mucous membranes of the mouth. Ear wax darkens with illnesses or environmental changes. For example, cigarette smokers often produce more and darker ear wax than non-smokers. It is true that ear wax "catches" insects, but only because of the sticky nature of ear wax. It prevents the insect from moving, but that also means the insect can't move OUT. Once trapped, the wax suffocates the insect.

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.
Yes, there re different types of ear wax, dry ear wax, wet, etc.... But if your ear wax is too wet or dry, that means you are sick or not eating too well.... I hope you are OK. with my answer......
Yes, ear wax does contain DNA. DNA can be found in the cells that are shed in the ear canal and mix with the wax.
No, ear wax does not drain into the throat. It is produced in the ear canal and typically moves out of the ear naturally.
