Uncombable hair syndrome
20
Triangular cross-section with central linear groove along one side
Pili trianguli et canaliculi (seen in uncombable hair syndrome)
21
Spun glass hair (Pili trianguli et canaliculi) is due to premature keratinization of what part of the hair follicle?
Inner root sheath
22
Which part of the hair is derived from the mesoderm?
Dermal papilla
23
The infundibulum of the hair extends from the surface of the epidermis Down to which structure?
Opening of sebaceous gland
24
The isthmus extends from the opening of the sebaceous gland Down to what structure?
Insertion of arrector pili muscle (bulge)
25
Where is the bulge located in the hair follicle?
At the junction of the isthmus and the inferior segment. It is where the arrector pili muscle inserts
26
The outer root sheath occurs where in the hair follicle?
EVERYWHERE! It's just that going up during the isthmus it will undergo trichilemmal differentiation, and then in the infundibulum is essentially keratinized like the rest of the epidermis
27
The inner root sheath is found in what part of the hair follicle?
Starts in the dermal papilla but disintegrates by the time it reaches the bulge which is in the isthmus
28
Which portion of the hair follicle is the inner root sheath never present?
The infundibulum
29
How long is anagen phase for each hair?
2-6 years
