Answer
P — Meibomian glands, Q — Ceruminous glands
Reason — Meibomian glands are modified sebaceous glands located along the margins of the eyelids. Their function is to secrete an oily substance that lubricates the eyelids.
Ceruminous glands are modified sweat glands found in the ear canal. They produce cerumen (earwax), which traps dust and germs, protecting the delicate eardrum.
