Integumentary - Hair Follicle Histology
(Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)
- Hair follicles of terminal hair span the entire dermis and usually extend deep into the hypodermis.
- Most of them will be cut at odd angles and only a few good longitudinally or transversely cut profiles are visible.
- The hair may have been lost during the preparation of the specimen and not all hair follicles will contain hairs.
- Although it is often possible to see the attachment of the arrector pili muscle into the hair follicle or the papillary layer of the dermis, both attachments are hardly ever visible in the same section.
