Why sebaceous gland is holocrine rather than apocrine

This is because the ducts are wavy rather than absolutely straight. Compare these sections of apocrine glands with the merocrine glands seen above. Sebaceous glands are holocrine glands. Their secretion, sebum, is an oily material

Here is your answer....

Sebaceous secretions in conjunction with apocrine glands also play an important thermoregulatory role. ... Sebum is produced in a holocrine process, in which cells within the sebaceous gland rupture and disintegrate as they release the sebum and the cell remnants are secreted together with the sebum.

I hope it helps....
