    Dormant, small, only one layer of flat granulosa cells: Primordial follicles are about 0.03–0.05 mm in diameter. Primary: Mitotic cells, cuboidal granulosa cells: Almost 0.1 mm in diameter Secondary: Presence of theca cells, multiple layers of granulosa cells: The follicle is now 0.2 mm in diameter Early tertiary

    Tissue mass is defined at 3.3 kg (ICRP-89, ICRP110) and addresses the skin's epidermis, dermis, hair follicles, and glands. The cell data is extracted from 'The Human Cell Count and Cell Size Distribution', [17] [18] Tissue-Table tab in the Supporting Information SO1 Dataset (xlsx). The 1200 record Dataset is supported by extensive references ...

    In colder conditions, the nature of sebum becomes more lipid, and in coating the hair and skin, rain is effectively repelled. [10] [11] Sebum is produced in a holocrine process, in which cells within the sebaceous gland rupture and disintegrate as they release the sebum and the cell remnants are secreted together with the sebum.

    The hair follicle is an organ found in mammalian skin. [1] It resides in the dermal layer of the skin and is made up of 20 different cell types , each with distinct functions. The hair follicle regulates hair growth via a complex interaction between hormones , neuropeptides , and immune cells . [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermal_macrophage

    The anatomy of human skin. Dermal macrophages are usually present in the dermis and around hair follicles. Dermal macrophages are macrophages in the skin that facilitate skin homeostasis by mediating wound repair, hair growth, and salt balance. [1] Their functional role in these processes is the mediator of inflammation.

  8. Theca of follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theca_of_follicle

    The anterior pituitary complex and hypophyseal portal system, where FSH and LH are released. Theca cells are responsible for synthesizing androgens, providing signal transduction between granulosa cells and oocytes during development by the establishment of a vascular system, providing nutrients, and providing structure and support to the follicle as it matures.

  9. Follicle (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicle_(anatomy)

    A follicle is a small, spherical or vase-like group of cells enclosing a cavity in which some other structure grows or other material is contained. Thyroid follicles make up the thyroid gland. Follicles are best known as the sockets from which hairs grow in humans and other mammals, but the bristles of annelid worms also grow from such sockets. [1]
