Anatomic Aspects:
Hair Follicle
Oleh Indina Sastrini
Morphologically 4 major categories: straight, spiral, helical,
and wavy.
Helical Straight
Wavy
Spiral
Color of hair depends o the amount and distribution of
melanosomes , the number of melanocytes is the same
before aging becomes apparent.
Dark brown or black hair contains large, ellipsoidal,
markedly melanized eumelanosomes. Red hair contains
spherical pheomelanosomes. Blond hair, melanocytes in
bulbs produce relatively few or incompletely melanized
melanosomes. Gray and white hair, melanocytes in
bulbs are reduced in number and melanosomes are poorly
melanized.
Sex hormones do not affect eyebrows and
eyelashes, but at the puberty they influence the
characteristic of pubic, axillary, facial and body
hair.
