arector pili muscle I hope or I shall be goin back to college hehe x

the sebaceous gland is attached to the hair follicle.this secretes sebum, but the arrector pili does help control heat by causing the hair to contract and retain heat, xx

Why do muscles go in to spasams which could be very painful?

 

[Claire21nire]

Erythema is redness and irritation of the skin, usually happens after waxing etc!
Blue nials can be a heart condition or an underlying illness which beauty therapists can recognise but cannot diagnose (better left to the experts)
The patella is the knee cap. Millia is white spots on the skin cause by blocked poures but can also be a sign of dehydration and is usually found around the eyes.

Next question:


What are the stages of hair growth?

Hello all
I was on a medical site earlier (forgot which one- sorry) and there is a fourth phase or cycle of hair growth that has recently been recognised

Ketogen - This is when the follicle is empty.

Ketogen is after the Telogen stage and before the Anagen hair is visible on the scalp.

Hope this helps.
