👉 Glandiferous is a term used to describe an animal that has glands or secreting organs located in its skin. These glands are responsible for producing various substances, including hormones and other signaling molecules, which regulate body functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction. Examples of animals with glandiferous structures include humans, some reptiles, and some birds, but the term is often used generically to describe any animal that secretes secretions or glands in its skin.
