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.
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.
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
Diagram of an anther in cross section. 1: Filament; 2: Theca; 3: Connective (the conducting vessels in red); 4: Pollen sac (also called sporangium) The androecium is one of the fertile cycles of flowers. The parts that make up the androecium are called stamens whose function is the generation of male gametophytes or pollen grains.
The fiber shape of synthetic fibers is controlled with a device spinneret during manufacturing (extrusion) process, whereas natural fibers conceive their shape with a variety of factors such as cellulose built up in plant fibers, and in silk, the shape of orifice from where the silk fibers are extruded. In hair fibers, it is hair follicle that ...

The hair cuticle is also known to contain anteiso-18-methyleicosanoic acid which contribute to the hydrophobic properties of hair. [5] [4] Diagram of the hair shaft, indicating medulla (innermost), cortex, and cuticle (exterior) While the cuticle is the outermost layer, it is not responsible for the color of the hair.
