Detailed explanation-1: -A type of gland that is found in the skin, breast, eyelid, and ear. Apocrine glands in the breast secrete fat droplets into breast milk and those in the ear help form earwax. Apocrine glands in the skin and eyelid are sweat glands.
Detailed explanation-2: -Modified apocrine sweat glands include the wax-producing ceruminous glands of the external auditory meatus, the Moll glands found at the free margins of the eyelids, and the mammary glands of the breast.
Detailed explanation-3: -Earwax is produced by modified sebaceous glands called ceruminous glands found in the auditory canal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Earwax also consists of secretions from two glands-specifically, the ceruminous and the sebaceous glands. The ceruminous gland is a sweat gland that rests just outside the auditory canal. The sebaceous glands excrete oil that helps lubricate the skin.
