Table Of Content Temperature Regulation About A Moment of Science Differences in Hair and Fur among Species A Look at Texture Camouflage and Protection In humans, hair also serves as a sensory organ, although to a lesser extent. Hair follicles in the skin provide tactile feedback, helping us to sense touch and temperature changes.

On the other hand, in hot environments, hair and fur serve as a protective shield against excessive heat. The outer layer of the hair shaft reflects sunlight and prevents direct exposure to the skin, reducing the risk of sunburn.

Guard hairs on animals may also enhance their sensory input, reacting to touch and changes in their surroundings. The final telogen phase is a resting period before the hair or fur eventually falls out and the growth cycle restarts. Definition and Composition The hair that makes up your eyelashes is different than the very fine hair on the back of your hand or the hair on your head. The whole human body, except hands and soles of feet, is covered with hairs. But in general usage, the word hair is usually used t...
