Detailed Solution

Ceruminous are the modified sweat glands in the external ear. The combined secretion of the ceruminous and sebaceous glands is a yellowish material called cerumen, or ear wax. Cerumen, along with hairs provides a sticky barrier for the entrance of foreign bodies and insects. 

Bowman’s glands are present in the olfactory epithelium            

Tarsal, or Meibomian gland are modified sebaceous glands of the eyelid. 

Bulbourethral glands are located inferior to the prostate gland. Their secretion helps in the lubrication of the penis.
