| | Exercise 15: Hair |
| | The hair in catagen may (and usually does) detach itself from the underlying matrix which produced it, and be held in the follicle simply by friction. | | | One thing that needs to be emphasized again is that the hair follicle and the hair it produces are part of the epidermal region of the skin. | | | Those cells are epidermal in nature and origin, and the hair, like the other adnexa of the skin, is epidermal in nature. |

| | Hair follicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Also attached to the follicle is a tiny bundle of muscle fiber called the arrector pili that is responsible for causing the follicle and hair to become more perpendicular to the surface of the skin, and causing the follicle to protrude slightly above the surrounding skin. | | | Normally up to 90% of the hair follicles are in anagen phase while, 10–14% are in telogen and 1–2% in catagen. | | | Hair grows in cycles of various phases: anagen is the growth phase; catagen is the involuting or regressing phase; and telogen, the resting or quiescent phase. |

| | Anagen hairs vary in size from large terminal hairs, such as those on the scalp, to the small vellus hairs that cover almost the entire glabrous skin (except palms and soles). | | | During the telogen (resting) phase, the secondary follicular germ and the dermal papilla form the telogen germinal unit, from which the new anagen hair develops. | | | The histologic features of the hair follicle change continuously and considerably during the hair growth cycle, thereby making follicular anatomy an even more complex entity. |
