☆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.
