**Question 5** Match each shape with the structure within a hair bulb that it indicates in the diagram below. The diagram displays a cross-section of a hair bulb, highlighting various structures that contribute to hair growth and maintenance. These structures are marked with different shapes for identification purposes. The following shapes are used in the diagram: - **Star**: Indicates the **hair papilla**, which is a structure at the base of the hair follicle involved in nourishing the hair. - **Circle**: Identifies **melanocytes**, which are cells responsible for producing pigment in the hair. - **Triangle**: Points to the **blood supply**, crucial for delivering nutrients to the hair follicle. - **X**: Marks the **epithelial root sheath**, which is part of the follicle providing the structural base for hair growth. The task is to match each shape with its corresponding structure using the choices provided. Options: - Hair papilla - Melanocyte - Blood supply - Epithelial root sheath Shapes: - a. Star - b. Circle - c. Triangle - d. X

Expert Solution
Step 1

A hair bulb or hair follicle can be described as a tube-like structure that encircles and covers the root of a hair. There are about 6 million hair follicles on the body of a newborn. These hair follicles give rise to full-grown hair as an individual gets an adult.
