AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Type of Glands**: The question asks about glands that secrete various substances such as mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, milk, and digestive enzymes. 2. **Understand the Function of Glands**: Glands can be classified into two main types: exocrine and endocrine. Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts that lead to the target area, while endocrine glands release hormones directly into the bloodstream. 3. **List the Substances and Their Glands**: - **Mucus**: Secreted by goblet cells, which are a type of exocrine gland. - **Saliva**: Produced by salivary glands, also exocrine glands located in the mouth. - **Earwax**: Secreted by glands in the ear, which are exocrine glands. - **Oil**: Produced by sebaceous glands, which are exocrine glands. - **Milk**: Secreted by mammary glands, which are exocrine glands found in females. - **Digestive Enzymes**: Produced by various exocrine glands in the digestive system. 4. **Conclusion**: Since all the mentioned substances are secreted by glands that release their products through ducts, the answer to the question is that these are all produced by **exocrine glands**. **Final Answer**: Exocrine glands secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, milk, digestive enzymes, and other cell products. ---
