Question:

Which part of the human body has the growth stages divided into - Anagen, Catagen and Telogen?

Options:

Hair

Tooth

Nose

Nails

Correct Answer:

Hair

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1)- Hair

The part of the human body with growth stages divided into Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen is Hair.

Explanation:

The growth cycle of hair involves three main stages:

  1. Anagen phase: This is the active growth phase where hair cells divide rapidly, and new hair is formed. The duration of the anagen phase varies for different individuals and body regions.
  2. Catagen phase: This is a transitional phase between the active growth and resting phases. During catagen, hair growth slows down, and the hair follicle begins to shrink.
  3. Telogen phase: This is the resting phase where the hair follicle is dormant, and the old hair is eventually shed. The cycle then repeats with the initiation of a new anagen phase.

These stages collectively make up the hair growth cycle, which varies for different hairs on the body and contributes to the overall maintenance of the hair.
