Normal Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland
Normal Hair Follicle and Sebaceous Gland

At the very center of the hair follicle is the hair shaft.
Surrounding it are the inner and outer hair sheath.
The two sebaceous glands are attached to the hair follicle above the erector pili muscle.
In this appearance, the sebaceous gland can be seen to be composed of an outer layer of cuboidal dark-staining cells and centrally situated numerous lighter-staining cells with abundant cytoplasm and a pyknotic nucleus.
