    Glossary Hair Follicle Infundibulum

    upper part of the hair follicle extending to sebaceous gland

    The hair follicle infundibulum is the upper part of the hair follicle, extending from the opening of the follicle at the skin's surface down to the point where the sebaceous (oil) gland attaches. This region is crucial for the passage of sebum and other substances to the skin's surface, and it plays a role in conditions like acne and folliculitis.
