Development of wool follicle / fibre
 Mature fleece is produced by wool follicle
 Basal layer of the epidermis crucial in wool follicle formation
 Follicles appear in the second month of gestation
Epidermis
Basal layer
Dermis
Different stages in wool development
Development
of Wool
Basal layer thickens and Grows down into the dermis
Forms a plug of cell tissues . The plug forms the wool
follicle and accessory structures
Plug further moves downwards
Two out-growths appear on the same side; sebaceous
and sudoriferous glands
Lower end of bulb becomes bulbous
Base of bulb turns inwards and forms dome like
structure containing actively dividing cells, this is
called papilla.
Cells in the papilla divide and elongate to form wool
fibre and the inner root sheath
Development
of Wool
 Follicles have shape of a golf club because the papilla is
derived towards the side of the follicles
 Orientation of the papilla and shape of the follicle are
connected to the crimpiness and waviness of the fibre
 In a mature follicle the bulb region proliferates and
organises to the Outer Root Sheath and Inner Root
Sheath
 The ORS forms the cuticle of the fibre whereas the IRS
forms the cortex of the fibre
Follicles in the unborn are arranged in a group of 3
Follicles forming the trio are primary follicles
Each trio is associated with accessory structure
sebaceous gland, sweat gland and arrector muscle
Sweat glands(suderiferous gland) apocrine type
Sweat gland secretions suint
Sebaceous gland wool wax
Yolk suint + wool wax
Follicular Arrangement
on the Skin
Mature Primary Wool Follicle
.
Primary follicles produce coarse fibres whereas Secondary follicles
produce fine (merino type) fibres
Arrector muscle – Attachment
Lower end Follicle
Upper end Basal layer
*New follicles called secondary
follicles appear in association
with primary follicles
*Secondary follicles are present
on the upper side of the primary
follicle and lack arrector muscles.
* Sebaceous glands associated
with secondary follicles are
smaller than those associated
with primary follicles.
* The S:P ratio i.e. Secondary:
Primary dictates types of fleece
produced.
