How many hair follicles can be found in one square centimeter of the skin?

The correct answer is: 150

Hair follicles are small pouches located within the skin that contain the hair root. These hair follicles are responsible for producing and growing hair. In one square centimeter of skin, there can be a varying number of hair follicles depending on the location of the skin. For example, the scalp has a higher concentration of hair follicles compared to the arms or legs. However, on average, there are about 150 hair follicles in one square centimeter of skin. This number can vary slightly, so the answer is not an exact number. This is why the other options are incorrect - they are all close approximations, but 150 is the most accurate answer.
