  2. Human hair growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hair_growth

    The longer the hair stays in the anagen phase, the longer it will grow. During this phase, cells neighboring the papilla in a germinative layer divide to produce new hair fibers, [13] and the follicle buries itself into the dermal layer of the skin to nourish the strand. About 85%–90% of the hairs on one's head are in the anagen phase at any ...

  3. Hair follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle

    The hair follicle is an organ found in mammalian skin. [1] It resides in the dermal layer of the skin and is made up of 20 different cell types, each with distinct functions.. The hair follicle regulates hair growth via a complex interaction between hormones, neuropeptides, and immune cells

  4. Relationship between telomeres and longevity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between...

    The relationship between telomeres and longevity and changing the length of telomeres is one of the new fields of research on increasing human lifespan and even human immortality. [1] [2] Telomeres are sequences at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division and determine the lifespan of cells. [3]

  5. Hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair

    Hair growth stops after a human's death. Visible growth of hair on the dead body happens only because of skin drying out due to water loss. [23] [24] The world record for longest hair on a living person stands with Smita Srivastava of Uttar Pradesh, India.

  6. Body hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_hair

    While the anagen phase for the hair on one's head lasts for years, the androgenic hair growth phase for body hair lasts a few months. The telogen phase for hair lasts for varying lengths of time, depending on where the hair is, from a few weeks up to nearly a year. [1]

  7. Hair cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_cell

    In mammalian outer hair cells, the varying receptor potential is converted to active vibrations of the cell body. This mechanical response to electrical signals is termed somatic electromotility; [13] it drives variations in the cell's length, synchronized to the incoming sound signal, and provides mechanical amplification by feedback to the traveling wave.

  8. Hayflick limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit

    The typical normal human fetal cell will divide between 50 and 70 times before experiencing senescence. As the cell divides, the telomeres on the ends of chromosomes shorten. The Hayflick limit is the limit on cell replication imposed by the shortening of telomeres with each division. This end stage is known as cellular senescence.

    10 μm – mean longest dimension of a human red blood cell [citation needed] 5–20 μm – dust mite excreta [94] 10.6 μm – wavelength of light emitted by a carbon dioxide laser; 15 μm – width of silk fibre [citation needed] 17 μm – minimum width of a strand of human hair [25] 17.6 μm – one twip, a unit of length in typography
