Sebaceous Follicles Communicate Directly with the Epidermis

Question

Sebaceous follicles communicate directly with the epidermis.

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous follicles are a type of skin gland that produces sebum, which lubricates and waterproofs the skin. They communicate directly with the epidermis through a small duct that opens at the skin's surface. This is how sebum is transported to the skin's surface.
