Across
- 1. the part of a hair projecting beyond the surface of the skin
- 3. help to maintain homoeostasis, primarily by stabilizing body temperature.
- 4. small elliptical tactile end organs in hairless skin containing numerous transversely placed tactile cells and fine flattened nerve terminations
- 5. tubular branching muscular- and elastic-walled vessels that carry blood from the heart through the body
- 8. produce and secrete sebum
- 9. tubular branching vessels that carry blood from the capillaries toward the heart
- 11. attach to the bulge region of hair follicles where hair follicle stem cells reside.
- 13. the layer of skin lying beneath the Dermis
