The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding what substances are eliminated by sebaceous glands through sebum, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Function of Sebaceous Glands**: - Sebaceous glands are microscopic exocrine glands located in the skin. They are responsible for producing sebum, an oily or waxy substance that lubricates and protects the skin and hair. 2. **Identify the Components of Sebum**: - Sebum is primarily composed of various substances, including lipids. The main components include sterols, hydrocarbons, and waxes. 3. **Evaluate the Given Options**: - **Option 1**: Sterols, hydrocarbons, and waxes. - This option includes the correct components found in sebum. - **Option 2**: NaCl, Urea, and Lactic Acid. - These substances are not typically associated with sebum. - **Option 3**: Sterols, Hydrocarbons, Urea, and Waxes. - This option includes urea, which is not a component of sebum. - **Option 4**: NaCl, Sterols, Hydrocarbon, and Urea. - This option also incorrectly includes urea and NaCl. 4. **Select the Correct Answer**: - After evaluating all options, the correct answer is **Option 1: Sterols, hydrocarbons, and waxes**, as these are the substances eliminated by sebaceous glands through sebum. ### Final Answer: The substances eliminated by sebaceous glands through sebum are **Sterols, Hydrocarbons, and Waxes**. ---
