What is pilosebaceous unit?
is the hair that is produced in a follicle associated with the sebaceous glands and a smooth muscle bundle (arrector pili).
what does the hair compose of?
The hair composes of thin, long, cylindrical shaft of keratin.
The function of the hair.
Hair funtion in thermoregulation, particulary heat conservation.
Contraction of the arrector pili muscles causes what?
Causes the hair to stand up which creates the appearance of goosebumps.
when does the skin appendages develops?
Skin appendages develop in the second trimester as simple downgrowths of the epidermis into the subepithelial layers of the mesoderm – eventually the dermis and subcutis
