Sebaceous Gland

Medical Condition:
Sebaceous Gland

Small, sacculated organs found in the corium of 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 hair follicles, but some open on the general surface of the skin. Sebaceous glands secrete SEBUM.
