The body hair of human foetus is :

  • A.Non-medullated
  • B.Non-pigmented
  • C.Non-medullated and non-pigmented
  • D.Medullated and pigmented

Answer: C

The body hair of the human foetus is non-medullated and non-pigmented.

Foetal body hair, called lanugo, is fine, soft and short. It has no medulla (central core) and little or no pigment, which makes it different from the coarser, pigmented terminal hair of adults. Its presence helps in estimating foetal age.

The single-feature options are incomplete, since lanugo lacks both a medulla and pigment, and 'medullated and pigmented' describes adult terminal hair.
