Cerumen (earwax) is a mixture of viscous secretions from sebaceous glands and less-viscous ones from modified apocrine sweat glands. See link below for more information.
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.
The gland that has no duct and secretes its product directly into the blood is the endocrine gland. Examples of endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal gland.
Thyroid Gland
The parotid gland secretes amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch into simpler sugars, while the submandibular gland secretes bicarbonate ions to help neutralize acidic food and protect the teeth from erosion.
Pituitary Gland
Ceruminous glands in the ear canal make cerumen, or ear wax. They are modified sudoriferous glands, as are the mammary glands.
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.
exocrine glandsSebaceous glands (present in outer ear) secrete ear wax (also called cerumen)
seminal gland secretes glucose to nourish the spermatozoa
The adrenal gland secretes the fight-or-flight hormones.
The adrenalin gland secretes that hormone.
Cerumen Oil
No, the pineal gland secretes melatonin. The adrenal gland secretes epinephrine.
The pineal gland (or, epiphysis) synthesizes and secretes melatonin.
