	ATSDR Hair Analysis Panel Discussion: Section 2.4
		The follicle cells generate the hair shaft; the hair shaft is composed of essentially dead cells, which are the outermost layers of the epithelium and form a solid cylinder in the dermis.
		Hair is composed of hard keratin (a family of proteins ranging in size from 20,000 to 70,000 Daltons) and is chemically denser than other forms of keratin (e.g., calluses, dander flakes).
		Patterning of hair is important to the generation and cycling of hair, and to how it relates to its neighbors (e.g., signaling goes on in various regions to space follicles in even arrays).

	Hair Growth Study
		Hairs emerge in patterns on the skin's surface.1 Although axillary hair grows in rows, hair on the sacral region, on the umbilicus, and occasionally on areas of the abdomen grows in whirls.2,3 Hair on the vertex of the scalp can grow in rows or whirls.
		Hair grows from primary follicles, which are formed by the differentiation of cells in the embryonic epidermis, and further growth causes the hair to become embedded in the dermis (Figure 1).
		Hair growth is regulated by several factors.27,29 The influence of innervation on the growth of hair has been studied in animals, and the experimental methods that were used involve total denervation, sympathetic denervation, and excision in follicle transplantation.
