Ceruminous glands are specialized sweat glands located in the skin of the ear canal. These glands secrete a waxy substance called cerumen or ear wax. Ear wax helps to lubricate and protect the skin of the ear canal and prevent the entry of foreign particles, such as dust and insects, into the ear. It also has antibacterial properties that help to protect the ear from infection. The amount and composition of ear wax vary from person to person and can be affected by factors such as age, genetics, and environmental conditions.

Cells of similar structure and function are grouped together to form a tissue. Tissues can be found in many different types of organisms, including animals and plants.

The popliteal artery is located behind the knee and is one of the major arteries that supplies blood to the leg and foot. Palpating the pulse in this artery can be done by pressing firmly on the area behind the knee, just below the crease.

Rice and eggs, carrots and squash, spinach and mustard greens are not known to cause unusual skin color. However, it is important for the nurse to ask the client about her diet and any supplements she may be taking to beter understand the cause of the unusual skin color.
