What is the earwax produced by our human body? How did it come to be?

According to junior high school biological knowledge, the most basic unit of our human body is cells, and different types of cells constitute different types of tissues and organs, and then different tissues and organs are divided into several major systems, thus constituting the human body. These tissue cells will be metabolized every day, and will be renewed regularly, cell metabolism can not only provide energy for our human survival, but also produce a certain amount of excretory waste, different cells excrete waste in different forms, such as the ear in the human body, earwax is the excretory waste produced by the metabolism of cells inside the ear, so what is earwax? How did it come to be?

First, the composition of earwax. Our human ear is divided into the inner auditory canal and the external auditory canal, and the earwax is actually a kind of desquamation and secretion after the metabolism of epithelial cells in the external auditory canal, which is generally yellow or white, and its main tissue component is protein. But it is not that the more earwax, the better, if there is too much earwax in the ear, it will affect the normal hearing of the human body, so we need to clean the earwax regularly, and the cleaning action should be gentle, so as not to be too violent and damage the ear canal**, so that it is difficult to reduce inflammation and lead to inflammation.

Second, how earwax is formed. According to biological knowledge, our human epithelial cells of the external auditory canal produce desquamation and secretions through metabolism, but this is not exactly the whole composition of earwax. In daily life, our ears will inevitably enter all kinds of small dirt, and these small dirt will mix with the desquamation and secretions produced in the ear canal, thus forming the earwax we see.

The above is the understanding of the composition and formation process of earwax, do you have any different opinions?

It is the dust and foreign body of the external auditory canal, the epithelial tissue that has fallen off the external auditory canal, and the oily substance secreted by the cells; It is because the ears are not plucked in time, and the oil secreted is more, which is the normal metabolism of the ear canal.

Earwax is a part of the body's metabolism of waste products, these things can actually play a good role in protecting the ears and can prevent dirt from entering the ears. The ear produces a type of oil that binds to some bacteria, and earwax is formed.

Earwax is a substance secreted by the cerumen glands in the ear, and the main component is protein, which has a certain bactericidal effect and has a bitter taste.

The formation of earwax is due to the fact that the external ear canal of the human body has cerumen glands that secrete cerumen, and these small glands continue to secrete and form the so-called earwax.

Some people due to the cerumen gland is more developed, more secretions, may form cerumen embolism, blocked in the external auditory canal and affect hearing, this situation should be timely to the regular hospital otolaryngology department for treatment, there are professional doctors for you to clean the ear canal, generally you can use the cerumen hook to carefully take out the cerumen or use normal saline for external ear canal irrigation, so as to flush the cerumen out of the external auditory canal.

There is a sweat gland in the ear called cerumen gland, which is a sebaceous gland similar to **, which can secrete a kind of oil, and these secretions are the original earwax, which is generally relatively thin. In general, a small amount of earwax can fall off the outside of the ear canal by the swing of the human head. However, some earwax is mixed with the dust in the ear canal and the ** debris that falls off, and after drying, it will become a small piece of pale yellow loose flake earwax, which is the earwax we see when we pick our ears.

The cartilage of the external auditory canal** has cerumen glands, and its secretion is called cerurumen, commonly known as earwax.

Cerumen is flaky when dried in the air; Some cerumen are like sticky oil, commonly known as "oil ears". Cerumen has the effect of protecting the external auditory canal** and adherent foreign objects, and usually excretes it by itself with the help of chewing, mouth opening and other exercises. If cerumen gradually coalesces into a clump and is blocked in the external auditory canal, it is called cerumen embolism.

Disease analysis: earwax is secreted by the secretory cells of the external auditory canal, the main component is protein, bitter taste, has a certain bactericidal effect, earwax because of the bitter taste, can drive away small insects, bactericidal effect can play a protective role in the outer ear canal and tympanic membrane, guidance:

However, too much earwax can affect hearing and even form earplugs, which need to be cleaned up in time, and you need to move gently when cleaning up, so as not to damage the external ear canal and eardrum, and wish you health and happiness.
