Definition (NCI_CDISC) | Small glands located within the epidermis, and associated with the hair follicle, that produce and secrete an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair. (NCI) |
Definition (NCI) | Small glands located within the epidermis, and associated with the hair follicle, that produce and secrete an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair. |
Definition (MSH) | Small, sacculated organs found within the DERMIS. Each gland has a single duct that emerges from a cluster of oval alveoli. Each alveolus consists of a transparent BASEMENT MEMBRANE enclosing epithelial cells. The ducts from most sebaceous glands open into a HAIR FOLLICLE, but some open on the general surface of the SKIN. Sebaceous glands secrete SEBUM. |
Definition (CSP) | small, sacculated organs found within the dermis which secrete sebum; ducts from most sebaceous glands open into a hair follicle but some open on the general surface of the skin. |
