Where are sebaceous glands located in the body?

Sebaceous glands are indeed located throughout the entire body except for the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. These glands are responsible for producing sebum, an oily substance that helps to keep the skin moisturized and provides a barrier against bacteria and fungi. They are most commonly associated with hair follicles, which is why they are found in almost all areas of the body that have hair.

The palms and soles are unique in having a different structure of skin that does not include hair follicles or sebaceous glands, which is why they are excluded from the presence of these glands. Therefore, the statement about the widespread distribution of sebaceous glands, except in those specific areas, aligns accurately with human anatomy.
