Fat, nothing but fat. Each hair of the body, which has much the same biological machinery as the hair on the head, has a sebaceous gland attached to it. They look like a group of cells, the sebocytes, the function of which is to produce lipids which are the constituents of sebum.The sebum is transferred by the sebocytes into the duct of the sebaceous gland and is then secreted onto the surface of the skin where, with sweat, it helps form the hydrolipidic film.here are two types of sweat glands: eccrine (from the Greek ex, out of, and krinein, to secrete) and apocrine (from the Greek apo, far from). The former are the more numerous (2 to 5 million). They form coiled secretory portion at the dermis-hypodermis junction and the secreting duct opens as pores in the skin.
