Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The hair root is in the skin and extends down to the deeper layers of the skin. It is surrounded by the hair follicle (a sheath of skin and connective tissue), which is also connected to a sebaceous gland. Each hair follicle is attached to a tiny muscle (arrector pili) that can make the hair stand up.
Detailed explanation-2: -The hair follicle root, which is located 4mm under the epidermis, includes sebaceous glands and interacts with the associated structures (epidermis, dermis, arrector pili muscles, vascular system).
