Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the human integumentary system, which includes structures such as hair, skin, nails, and associated glands.
Recognize that hair is directly associated with specific structures that support its function, such as glands and muscles.
Learn that sebaceous glands are responsible for secreting sebum, an oily substance that lubricates and waterproofs the hair and skin, making them directly associated with hair.
Identify the arrector pili muscle as another structure associated with hair, responsible for causing hair to stand upright (goosebumps) when contracted.
Note that sweat glands and Langerhans cells are not directly associated with hair. Sweat glands are involved in thermoregulation, and Langerhans cells are immune cells found in the epidermis.
