Hair follicle shortens to 1/3 of its former length.
Describe the late catagen stage - ANSWER the thin cord of epidermal cells attaching the dermal papilla to
the shrunken hair follicle retracts upwards, followed by the underlying dermal hair papilla, which also
moves upwards.
Describe the telogen phase: - ANSWER Resting or dormant period.
Pigment cells are also dormant.
The papilla has detached from the follicle.
A 'Club" hair is a terminal hair separated from the papilla that has risen to the middle of the follicle- it
eventually falls out at the end of cycle.
The hair bulb is shrunken, white and consisting of keratinized hair matrix cells.
Length of telogen time varies widely according to type of hair, the area of the body and nature of the
individual.
Only hair germ cells from the outer root sheath and dormant dermal papilla cells remain at the lower
part of the follicle.
