18. THE ROOT Portion just below the surface that penetrates into the dermis. Surrounding the root is a hair follicle At the base of each follicle is an enlarged structure called a bulb.

19. Hair Follicle Each follicle gets – Arrector pilli – smooth muscle – Nerves! – root hair plexus – Hair papilla – capillaries!

22. NAILS Hard keratinized cells of the epidermis 3 parts: 1. Nail body- portion that is visible 2. Free edge-Any part that may project beyond the distal end of the digit. 3. Nail root-Hidden in proximal nail groove
