Sebaceous
sebaceous
The modified sudoriferous gland that secretes wax is called the ceruminous gland. These glands are found in the ear canal and produce earwax, also known as cerumen, which helps to protect the ear canal from dust, bacteria, and other foreign particles.
Ceruminous glands in the ear canal make cerumen, or ear wax. They are modified sudoriferous glands, as are the mammary glands.

exocrine glandsSebaceous glands (present in outer ear) secrete ear wax (also called cerumen)
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.
The name of that salivary gland is parotid gland. That is the biggest of all the salivary glands.
The ceruminous glands in the ear canal secrete earwax, also known as cerumen. This wax helps protect the ear canal by trapping dust and debris, preventing them from entering 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.
