_______, Also Known as Oil Glands, are Generally Attached to Hair

Question

_______, also known as oil glands, are generally attached to hair follicles.
A) Sebaceous glands
B) Papillae
C) Sweat glands
D) Arrector pili

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous glands are typically associated with hair follicles and produce an oily substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. Papillae are small, nipple-like projections on the surface of the skin that contain blood vessels and nerve endings. Sweat glands are responsible for producing sweat or perspiration, which helps to regulate body temperature. Arrector pili are small muscles attached to hair follicles that contract in response to cold or emotional stress, causing the hair to stand on end. None of these are generally associated with oil production in the skin.
