The 25 pages that link to Sebaceous gland, each with the reason it gives.

• Hair follicleRelated: Its duct commonly opens into the follicle, delivering sebum to the skin and hair.

• DermisRelated: Sebum from dermal glands helps lubricate hair and the skin surface.

• Mammary glandCompared with: It is a nearby skin gland with a secretion and function distinct from milk production.

• SebumBroader topic: Sebaceous glands synthesize and secrete sebum.

• HairRelated: Its oil coats nearby hair and helps lubricate the skin surface.

• Skin microbiomeRelated: Its secretions make follicle-rich areas a distinctive microbial habitat.

• DihydrotestosteroneRelated: Androgens including DHT stimulate sebaceous activity and can influence acne.

• Eccrine sweat glandCompared with: It produces oil rather than the watery sweat made by eccrine glands.

• Apocrine sweat glandRelated: It shares the follicle as an outlet but produces lipid-rich sebum, not apocrine sweat.

• Cat groomingRelated: Sebum contributes to coat condition, so excessive washing can strip natural oils.

• Exocrine glandBroader topic: Its holocrine release lubricates skin and hair.

• Cutibacterium acnesRelated: Sebum-rich follicles provide the habitat in which this bacterium commonly grows.

• 5α-reductaseRelated: Androgen signaling, including dihydrotestosterone, influences sebaceous gland activity.

• AcneBroader topic: These glands supply the oil involved in acne formation.

• IsotretinoinRelated: Isotretinoin markedly reduces these glands’ activity and sebum production.

• EarwaxRelated: Sebum from ear-canal glands adds lipids to earwax.

• PerspirationCompared with: It is another skin gland, but its oily secretion does not cool the body.

• Pubic hairRelated: These glands commonly empty into follicles in the pubic region.

• Human skinBroader topic: Sebum lubricates skin and hair and contributes to the surface barrier.

• Integumentary systemBroader topic: Its secretion contributes to the surface film that limits water loss.

• Lip balmRelated: The red lip surface lacks the usual oil-gland protection found in much facial skin.

• Anal sacsCompared with: Sebaceous glands produce skin oils rather than storing anal-sac secretions.

• ComedoRelated: Its secretion supplies the oil that becomes part of a comedo.

• Integumentary System Physiological PhenomenaBroader topic: Sebum lubricates skin and hair and contributes to the surface barrier.

• PimpleRelated: Its sebum contributes to follicle blockage and creates conditions for acne lesions.
