Question

Hair roots are located in

• A. Dermis
• B. Epidermis
• C. Hypodermis
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dermis

Skin has three layers:

• The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
• The second layer of skin is the dermis, located under the epidermis. It contains connective tissue, nerve endings, and hair follicles.
• Subcutaneous tissue is the third layer of the skin. Located beneath the dermis and epidermis, it is mostly fat. Hence, Hair roots are located in Dermis.

So, the correct answer is 'Dermis'.
