Does the hair folicles have contact with hypodermis?
Hair follicles extend from the epidermis into the dermis layer of the skin. The hypodermis is located below the dermis and serves mainly as a layer of insulation and energy storage, so hair follicles do not have direct contact with the hypodermis.
How do skin and hair work together?
Skin and hair work together to protect the body from external factors. Hair follicles are embedded in the skin, with hair acting as insulation and sensing stimuli. Skin regulates temperature and provides nutrients to hair follicles, while hair can enhance the effectiveness of skin's protective barrier.
What are two components of the skin?

From where does your hair grow?

Which skin layer of the skin are hair follicles found?
dermis
What are the groups of hair generating Cells called?
Sub-Cutaneous hair generating Follicles are embedded within the 15 layer thick Skin; the outermost seven Cell Layers are composed of dead Cells to form an essential protective Layer.
What glands are located in the dermis layer of the skin and are closely associated with hair follicles?
Sebaceous glands are found in the dermis and are closely associated with hair follicles.
What are the glands located in the dermis layer of the skin and are closely associated with hair follicles?
Sebaceous glands are found in the dermis and are closely associated with hair follicles.

How is hair follicle similar to epidermal layer of skin?
Both hair follicles and the epidermal layer of skin are part of the integumentary system and are located in the skin. They are involved in providing protection to the body. Hair follicles contain stem cells that regenerate hair, while the epidermal layer forms a barrier against pathogens and UV radiation.

Which layer of skin does hair grow on?
Fully developed hair follicles lie in the dermis but develop as indurations from the epidermis.

Which vitamin is obtained from sunlight by absorption through hair follicles?
The vitamin is "Vitamin D". However, you are misinformed because it is NOT absorbed though hair follicles. The Ultraviolet light in sunlight penetrates the skin (not the hair follicles) and reacts with the fat layer under the skin to MAKE Vitamin D - a photochemical reaction.
Which layer of skin connects your body to your skin?
The layer of skin that connects your body to your skin is the dermis. It is located beneath the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) and contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The dermis provides structural support and elasticity to the skin.
