Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hair bulb is the base of the hair follicle where it originates in the skin. The hair root is the portion of the hair that is below the skin surface, but it is not where the follicle originates. The shaft, medulla, and cuticle are all parts of the hair itself, not where the follicle originates.
