Which of the following hair type/s is/are found in human foetus ?
Answer: C
The hair of the human foetus is lanugo hair (spelt 'Lenugo' in the paper).
Lanugo is the fine, soft, unpigmented hair that covers the foetus from about the fifth month of intrauterine life. It is mostly shed before birth, so its presence and extent help estimate the maturity of a foetus in medico-legal work.
Vellus hair is the short fine hair that replaces lanugo after birth over most of the body, and terminal hair is the coarse pigmented hair of the scalp, eyebrows and, after puberty, the axilla and pubis. Neither is the foetal hair type.
