In the context of cell division and hair growth, what is the active growing stage of hair called?
A
Anagen phase
B
Exogen phase
C
Catagen phase
D
Telogen phase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that hair growth occurs in cycles, and each phase has a specific role in the growth and shedding process.
Learn the names and functions of the four main phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen (active growth), Catagen (transition), Telogen (resting), and Exogen (shedding).
Focus on the Anagen phase, which is the active growing stage of hair. During this phase, cells in the hair follicle rapidly divide, contributing to hair elongation.
Compare the Anagen phase to the other phases: Catagen is a short transitional phase where growth stops, Telogen is a resting phase, and Exogen is when hair is shed from the follicle.
Recognize that the Anagen phase is the correct answer because it is the stage where active hair growth occurs due to cell division in the follicle.
