Ceruminousglands are specialized sudoriferous glands sweat glands located subcutaneously in the external auditory canal . Ceruminousglands are simple, coiled, tubular glands made up of an inner secretory layer of cells and an outer myoepithelial layer of cells ref name Saladin . The glands drain into larger ducts, which then drain into the guard hairs that reside in the external auditory canal ref name Medscape http emedicine.medscape.com article 1960501 overview ref . Here they produce cerumen , or earwax, by mixing their secretion with sebum and dead epidermal cells. Cerumen keeps the eardrum pliable, lubricates and cleans the external auditory canal , waterproofs the canal, kills bacteria, and serves as a barrier to trap foreign particles dust, fungal spores, etc. by coating the guard hairs of the ear, making them sticky ref name Saladin Saladin,Kenneth.

Krause s glands are small, mucous accessory lacrimal glands that are found underneath the eyelid where the upper and lower conjuctiva e meet. Their ducts unite into a rather long Sinus anatomy sinus which open into the fornix conjunctiva. There are approximately forty Krause glands in the region of the upper eyelid, and around 6 to 8 in the region of the lower lid. The function of these glands are to produce tears which are secreted onto the surface of the conjuctiva. There are rare instances of tumor s associated with Krause s glands. They usually occur as retention cyst s in cicatrix cicatricial conditions of the conjunctiva. Krause s glands are named after German anatomist Karl Friedrich Theodor Krause 1797 1868 .
