Abstract

The sinus hair follicle starts its development in the lower lip at 75 mm CVRL as a follicular plug and its development has the same sequence fo events as the ordinary hair.
The SEM pictures showed that the cuticle of the hair carries folds and microprojections on its cells. Openings of membrane-bounded vesicles were also observed. The TEM revealed that the plasma mem brane of the cuticle cells are modified either into pentalaminar or modified trilaminar membranes.
