    GlossaryPolarity

    distribution of electrical charge or structural orientation within molecules

    Polarity refers to the distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by a bond. In the context of biology and hair, it can describe the orientation and structural differences within cells or molecules, such as the way hair follicles have distinct regions that influence hair growth direction and type. This concept is crucial for understanding cellular functions and interactions, as well as the mechanisms behind hair development and disorders like alopecia.
