A hair follicle consists of : The papilla is a large structure at the base of the hair follicle. [4] The papilla is made up mainly of connective tissue and a capillary loop. Cell division in the papilla is either rare or non-existent. [contradictory] Around the papilla is the hair matrix. A root sheath composed of an external and internal root ...
Hair is a stratified squamous keratinized epithelium made of multi-layered flat cells whose rope-like filaments provide structure and strength to the hair shaft. The protein called keratin makes up hair and stimulates hair growth. Hair follows a specific growth cycle with three distinct and concurrent phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Each ...
Hair follicle with mesenchymal dermal papilla, labelled at top, location of hair follicle stem cells and thought to be site of action of DHT. Type 1 and 2 5α reductase enzymes are present at pilosebaceous units in papillae of individual hair follicles. They catalyse formation of the androgens testosterone and DHT, which in turn regulate hair ...
Dermal papillae also play a pivotal role in hair formation, growth and cycling. [9] In mucous membranes, the equivalent structures to dermal papillae are generally termed "connective tissue papillae", which interdigitate with the rete pegs of the superficial epithelium. Dermal papillae are less pronounced in thin skin areas.

Finding a few strands of hair in your shower drain after shampooing and conditioning usually isn’t cause for alarm. After all, most adults shed from 50 to 100 strands per day, according to the ...
Pili multigemini, also known as "compound hairs," [2] is a malformation characterized by the presence of bifurcated or multiple divided hair matrices and papillae, giving rise to the formation of multiple hair shafts within the individual follicles. [3] [4]
The base of the hair follicle contains the bulb, housing dermal fibroblasts known as the dermal papilla, crucial for morphogenesis and the hair follicle's cyclic activity. Encircling these cells is the matrix cell region, the hair follicle's proliferative compartment, responsible for the formation of different follicle compartments (except the ...
