Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terminal hairs are the coarser, pigmented hairs that replace the fine, unpigmented vellus hairs at puberty. Lanugo hairs are the fine, unpigmented hairs that cover the fetus in utero and are typically shed before birth. Primary hairs and vellus hairs are also fine hairs, but they do not replace the hairs present at birth. Pubic hairs are another type of terminal hair that grow in the pubic area at puberty.
