the blood and nerve supply that provides nutrients needed for hair growth are contained in the:
What is dermal papilla
100
generally, only thick, coarse hair contains a:
What is medulla
100
as living cells of the hair mature, they fill up with protein called:

100
there are 3 different types of side bonds in the cortex:
What is hydrogen, salt, and disulfide bonds
200
the two main divisions of the hair are the hair root and the:
What is hair shaft
200
