A

30

47
Q

Y/N: Bulge cells do not normally move to the epidermis

A

Yes

48
Q

Anagen can be divided into _____ stages

A

7

49
Q

There is similarity between _____ and the early events of anagen

A

Wound healing

50
Q

The onset of _____ is marked by cessation of the mitotic activity of the matrix cells and by the coordinated apoptosis in the cyclic portion of the hair follicle

A

Catagen

51
Q

Y/N: Pigment production my melanocytes ceases after matrix cell proliferation stops.

A

No - before matrix cell proliferation stops

52
Q

At the end of catagen, the dermal papilla becomes situated

A

Below the bulge at the lower portion of the isthmus

53
Q

The migration of the dermal papilla from the subcutaneous fat to the dermis during catagen is necessary for continued follicle cycling. This is illustrated by the syndrome

Q

Increase in shedding of club hairs within weeks of the precipitating event

A

Immediate telogen release (too soon to be caused by follicles prematurely entering telogen from anagen
