Feedback:
Ceruminal glands function to protect the tympanic membrane. Apocrine sweat glands secrete a thick, oily, milky sweat into the hair follicle. Eccrine sweat glands are distributed widely over the body, but are especially numerous on the upper lip, forehead, back, palms, and soles. The primary function of perspiration is to assist in the regulation of body temperature by providing a cooling effect.
