Hair is a unique character of mammals and has several functions, from protection of the skin to sexual and social communication. In literature, there are various studies about hair that take into consideration different aspects within many fields of science, including biology, dermatology, cosmetics, forensic sciences, and medicine.
We carried out a search of studies published in PubMed up to 2013.
In this review, we summarized the principal anatomical and physiological aspects of the different types of human hair, and we considered the clinical significance of the different structures and the distribution of the hair in the human body.
This review could be the basis for improvement and progression in the field of hair research.
毛发是哺乳动物的一个独特特征，具有多种功能，从保护皮肤到性和社交交流。在文献中，有各种关于毛发的研究，这些研究考虑了包括生物学、皮肤病学、化妆品学、法医学和医学在内的许多科学领域的不同方面。
我们检索了截至2013年在PubMed上发表的研究。
在本综述中，我们总结了不同类型人类毛发的主要解剖学和生理学方面，并考虑了不同结构的临床意义以及毛发在人体中的分布。
本综述可为毛发研究领域的改进和进展奠定基础。
