In females, what structure contains sweat and oil-secreting glands?
A
Labia majora
B
Labia minora
C
Bartholin’s glands
D
Clitoris
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main parts of your vulva or external genitals are: Labia majora: Your labia majora (“large lips”) enclose and protect the other external reproductive organs. During puberty, hair growth occurs on the skin of the labia majora, which also contain sweat and oil-secreting glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apocrine sweat glands are located primarily in the axilla, breasts, face, scalp, and the perineum [21, 22]. As shown in Figure 1, these glands differ from eccrine glands in that they are larger and open into hair follicles instead of onto the skin surface [12].

Detailed explanation-3: -Females have a high concentration of apocrine sweat glands around the outside of the vagina on the labia majora. The sweat from apocrine glands contains protein. Bacteria break down this protein, which can produce a distinct odor.
