* Gland: Sebaceous glands
Sebum is an oily substance that helps lubricate the skin and hair, keeping them soft and supple. It also has antimicrobial properties.
2. Sweat
* Category: Watery fluid
* Gland: Sweat glands (specifically, eccrine and apocrine glands)
Sweat is a mostly watery fluid that helps regulate body temperature through evaporation. There are two types of sweat glands:
* Eccrine glands: These are the most common type of sweat gland, and they produce a thin, odorless sweat.
* Apocrine glands: These glands are located in areas like the armpits and groin. They produce a thicker, more oily sweat that can have a stronger odor, especially when mixed with bacteria.
