Non-human Hair

  • Chapter
Hair and Hair Diseases

Abstract

In the literature the term “hair” is applied not only to the pelage of mammals, but also to other structures such as bristles on insects, sensory organs in crustaceans and small structures on plants. The present discussion will be con-fined to the pelage of mammals.
