Glándulas sebáceas de los folículos pilosos
Cada poro en la superficie de la piel es una abertura a un canal denominado folículo. El folículo también contiene un cabello y una glándula sebácea. La glándula sebácea ayuda a remover las células viejas de la piel, la mantiene lubricada y previene el resecamiento de los tejidos.
