Ans: D
Feedback:
The sebaceous glands are the structures that become inflamed in acne. Growth of the hair is centered in the bulb (i.e., the base) of the hair follicle, which is just one part of the hair structure. Apocrine sweat glands are located deep in the dermal layer and open through a hair follicle. Dermal papillae minimize separation of the dermis and the epidermis and contain capillary venules that nourish the epidermal layers of the skin.
