Terminal hairs are the thick, coarse hairs that grow on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and in the pubic and axillary regions. This distinguishes them from the soft, fine vellus hairs that cover most of the body. Apocrine glands are sweat glands found in the perineum and axillary regions, but they do not produce hair. Pubic hairs refer specifically to the terminal hairs that grow in the pubic region.
