GlossaryHuman Hair

filamentous biomaterial growing from follicles in the dermis

Human hair is a filamentous biomaterial that grows from follicles found in the dermis, primarily on the scalp. It is composed mainly of keratin, a protein that provides strength and resilience. Hair serves various functions, including protection, regulation of body temperature, and facilitation of the sense of touch.
