Sebaceous glands are connected to?

The epidermis
The dermis
The sweat glands
The hair follicle

The correct answer is: The hair follicle

Sebaceous glands are connected to the hair follicle, not the epidermis, dermis, or sweat glands. The hair follicle is a tubular invagination of the epidermis that extends into the dermis and is where the sebaceous gland secretes sebum, an oily substance that helps keep the skin and hair moisturized. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin, while the dermis is the layer below. Sweat glands are also present in the dermis but are not connected to sebaceous glands. Therefore, the hair follicle is the only option connected to sebaceous glands.
