A cross section of the hair shaft may be divided roughly into three zones. Hair fibers have a structure consisting of several layers, starting from the outside: the cuticle , which consists of several layers of flat, thin cells laid out overlapping one another as roof shingles
A floral diagram is a schematic cross-section through a young flower. [1] It may be also defined as “projection of the flower perpendicular to its axis”. [ 3 ] It usually shows the number of floral parts, [ Note 2 ] their sizes, relative positions and fusion.
In mammalian outer hair cells, the varying receptor potential is converted to active vibrations of the cell body. This mechanical response to electrical signals is termed somatic electromotility; [13] it drives variations in the cell's length, synchronized to the incoming sound signal, and provides mechanical amplification by feedback to the traveling wave.
English: A diagram showing how the cross section of the hair shaft differs in different hair types. A round cross section is found in straight hair types, an oval cross section in wavy or curly hair types, and a flattened oval cross section in curly or kinky hair types.
Huxley's layer is the second layer of the inner root sheath of the hair and consists of one or two layers of horny, flattened, nucleated cells. It lies between Henle's layer and the cuticle . [ 1 ]
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
The epidermis is the outermost cell layer of the primary plant body. In some older works the cells of the leaf epidermis have been regarded as specialized parenchyma cells, [1] but the established modern preference has long been to classify the epidermis as dermal tissue, [2] whereas parenchyma is classified as ground tissue.

Since the neighboring cell can not move easily the Rosette complex is instead pushed around the cell through the fluid phospholipid membrane. Eventually this results in the cell becoming wrapped in a microfibril layer. This layer becomes the cell wall. The organization of microfibrils forming the primary cell wall is rather disorganized.
