  2. Root hair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_hair

    When a new root hair cell grows, it excretes a hormone that inhibits the growth of root hairs in nearby cells. This ensures equal and efficient distribution of the actual hairs on these cells. [citation needed] Repotting or transplanting a plant can result in root hair cells being pulled off, perhaps to a significant extent, which can cause ...

  3. 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.

  4. Palisade cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palisade_cell

    Palisade cell, or palisade mesophyll cell are plant cells located inside the mesophyll of most green leaves. They are vertically elongated and are stacked side by side, in contrast to the irregular and loosely arranged spongy mesophyll cells beneath them. Palisade cells are responsible for carrying out the majority of the photosynthesis in a ...

  5. Trichome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichome

    Both trichomes and root hairs, the rhizoids of many vascular plants, are lateral outgrowths of a single cell of the epidermal layer. Root hairs form from trichoblasts, the hair-forming cells on the epidermis of a plant root. Root hairs vary between 5 and 17 micrometers in diameter, and 80 to 1,500 micrometers in length (Dittmar, cited in Esau ...

  6. Rhizodermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizodermis

    Anatomy of a root tip. 3 is the rhizodermis. Rhizodermis is the root epidermis (also referred to as epiblem), the outermost primary cell layer of the root.. Specialized rhisodermal cells, trichoblasts, form long tubular structures (from 5 to 17 micrometers in diameter and from 80 micrometers to 1.5 millimeters in length) almost perpendicular to the main cell axis – root hairs that absorb ...

    Red Hair Growth System. Dr. Kash also recommends this device for a variety of reasons. “It has patented LED technology that allows the necessary depth to reach the hair follicle (which is ...

  8. Root sheath (hair) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_sheath_(hair)

    The outer root sheath corresponds with the stratum mucosum (stratum germinativum and stratum spinosum) [1] of the epidermis, and resembles it in the rounded form and soft character of its cells; at the bottom of the hair follicle these cells become continuous with those of the root of the hair.

  9. Hair plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_plexus

    They are mechanoreceptors conveying touch sensation with cell bodies located inside of either dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal root ganglia. [1] For most of the body (excluding the head and neck), crude touch and noxious stimuli from these receptors are further conveyed by the spinothalamic tract [ 2 ] whereas discriminative and light touch ...
