Heya!!!

☆Types of appendages includes :

⊙HAIRS
⊙ GLANDS
⊙ AND NAILS

☆Epidermal appendages:

○Hair follicles , sebaceous glands, sweat glands and apocrine glands are considered epidermal appendages , because they develop as downgrowths of the epidermis into the dermis○

☆Sebaceous Glands :-

》》These  are typically found in the opening shaft of hair. They are not on the palms of the hands or in the soles of the feets .

》》These glands secrete an antibacterial moisture known as sebum fluid. It softens skins .

》》The secretion is related to hormonal release. If acne is occurring, it is because these gland ducts are blocked.

☆ Sweat glands :-

》》Sweat Glands are distributed all over the body except nipples and outer genitals.

》》 Although the nipples do have the mammary glands, these are known as modified sweat glands. 

☆ Hair follicles :-

》》A small secretory cavit or sac or gland .
