What are the oil glands in the skin that are connected to the hair follicles called?

Sweat glands
Sebaceous glands
Salivary glands
Adrenal glands

The correct answer is: Sebaceous glands

Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing and secreting a substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and waterproof the skin. Sweat glands, on the other hand, produce sweat in order to regulate body temperature. Salivary glands are located in the mouth and aid in digestion, while adrenal glands produce hormones that regulate stress response. Therefore, these other options are not correct as they do not refer to the specific gland connected to hair follicles.
