Ceruminous glands are located in the external ear and secrete which substance?

Explanation:
Ceruminous glands in the external ear canal are modified apocrine sweat glands that produce earwax (cerumen). This waxy secretion coats the ear canal, trapping dust and debris, keeping the canal moist, and providing antimicrobial protection. It may mingle with nearby sebaceous gland secretions to form the characteristic earwax.
