. Fig. 24.—Section of Skin with Hair Follicle and Hair. a, The hair follicle ; h, the hair root; c, the medulla ; d, the hair cuticle ; e, the outer root sheath ; /, tlie inner root sheath ; g, the papilla from which the hair is growing; h, a sebaceous gland; /, a sudoriferous gland. its root is moulded. When a hair is cast off a new one is produced from the cells covering the papilla, or, in case of the death or degeneration of the original papilla, the new hair is produced from a second papilla formed in place of the first at the bottom of the follicle. The Sebaceous Glands are small saccular glands with their ducts opening into the mouths of the hair follicles. They furnish a natural lubricant to the hairs and the skin.
