Place the letter of your choice in the space provided. An oily secretion that helps to waterproof body surface. General name of entire superficial layer of the skin. Tubelike part that contains the root of the hair. Causes hair to stand on end and goose bumps to appear. The palm does not have hair follicles, and it has an extra layer of skin for protection. This skin is called the stratum lucidum: describe the differences you observed in the type and distribution of hair on the front (anterior) and back (posterior) of your forearm. The front of the forearm has more hair because it has a thicker layer of skin. The back of the forearm has less and thinner layers of skin that the front, so less hair: explain how a hair is formed. As the cells of the hair are forced toward the surface of the body, they become keratinized and pigmented and die.
