Q

(Hair Follicles and Hair)

  1. The hair follicle, sebaceous and apocrine glands make up what? which develops as a growth of what?
  2. the hair follicle is dilated at the base to form a bulb, which encloses what?
A
  1. the pilo-sebaceous/apocrine apparatus; the epidermis

17
Q

(Hair follicles and hair)

  1. how is keratinization of hair differ from that in the epidermis?
A
  1. is hard keratin (higher in sulfur and cysteine) (processs related to hair growth cycle)
18
Q

(Hair follicles and hair)

(Phases)

  1. growth phase
  2. intermediate phase
  3. resting phase (club hair)
A
  1. anagen
  2. catogen
  3. telogen

(the size and shape of follicle is altered during each of these phases. hair follicles in anagen are long and the bulb may reach the subcutaneous fat tissue. telogen hair follicles are much shorter and their distal end is in the mid dermis)

19
Q

(Hair follicles and hair)

(Hair color)

  1. similar to epidermal cells, except that melanocytes of hair bulb are only active during what phase?
A
  1. anagen
20
Q

(Hair follicles and hair)

(Factors affecting the hair growth)

(hormones)

  2. the proximal portion inside the follicle? the root is attached by what to the underlying papilla?
A
  1. the shaft
  2. the root; its terminal end (the hair bulb)
24
Q

(The layers of the hair)

  1. the outermost layer of the hair; formed by what?
  2. densely packed keratininzed cells; contain what?
  3. loose cuboidal or flattened cells wedged between the cortex; do all hairs have this?
A
  1. the hair cuticle; flar, cornified, anuclear cells
  2. the cortex; melanin that give color to hair
  3. the medulla (melanin may be present - no influence on color though); no
25
Q

(types of hair)

  1. large medullated coarse hairs (aka guard hairs)
  2. fine medullated hairs, the undercoat of many breeds of dogs
  3. fine non-medullated hairs; not present in dogs and cats post birth
  4. various propotions affect hair coat type
  5. are fine: are usually non-medullated, thightly crimped hair fibers
