It is argued that the close endocrine control of human sebaceous glands and the likely effects of acne on selection indicate that both gland and disease have persisted because they are biologically useful. Two possibilities are proposed: sebum may provide precursor substrates for metabolism and synthes...
What are the structures in the integument (skin) which carry responses from sensory cells or nerve ending? Possible answers: pore, epidermis, eccrine sweat gland duct, sebaceous gland, nerve endings, collagen fivers, hair root, subcutaneous...

Glands:Four types of glands make up integumentary system parts: sudoriferous, sebaceous, ceruminous, and mammary glands. Sudoriferous glands produce sweat and genital secretions. Ceruminous glands produce ear wax. Sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum. Mammary glands are the milk...
Creating hybrid materials with multifunctionality and robust mechanical stability from natural resources is a challenging proposition in materials science. Here, we report the scalable synthesis of hybrid collagen scaffolds using collagen extracted from
