Sebaceous glands are usually embedded in the dermis. A. Deep in the sebaceous glands cells are smaller with intact nuclei. Cell size increases with the accumulation of sebum as the cells are gradually displaced towards the opening of the gland into the hair follicle. The nuclei condense, become darker and irregularly shaped.
Draw a sebaceous gland. Emphasise the appearance of the secretory cells in different parts of the gland. If possible include part of the associated hair follicle.
