9.17 Hair and sebaceous gland

Version française

Section of the scalp showing a longitudinal section of a hair follicle connected to the surface of the skin (top right). The plane of section misses the hair itself.

Several sebaceous glands (+) are connected to the neck of the follicle. The duct of a sebaceous gland (*) opens into the lumen of the hair follicle. The reddish material seen above (arrow) corresponds to a tangential section of the cornified layer of the epidermis lining the mouth of the hair follicle.

A sweat gland (G) is also labelled.
