    tiny skin structures where hair growth begins and is nourished

    Hair follicle anatomy refers to the structure and components of the tiny, tube-like sacs in the skin from which hair grows. Each hair follicle consists of several parts, including the bulb (where hair growth begins), the dermal papilla (which supplies nutrients), and the sebaceous gland (which produces oil to condition the hair). Understanding this anatomy is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair-related conditions like alopecia.
