Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terminal hairs are thick, long, and pigmented hairs that grow on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other parts of the body. Vellus hairs are short, fine, and light-colored hairs that cover most of the body. Intermediate hairs are thicker than vellus hairs but thinner than terminal hairs. Club hairs are hairs that have stopped growing and are in the resting phase, often seen in shedding periods. Lanugo hairs are fine, downy hairs that cover a fetus's body and shed around the time of birth. Eyebrows and eyelashes are made up of terminal hairs.
