Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells. Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".

Explanation:

In the pre-synaptic knob there are vesicles which contain a transmitter substance called acetylcholine. When an impulse reaches the synaptic knob, it stimulates the vesicles to move towards the pre-synaptic membrane releasing the acetylcholine.

The transmitter substance makes the membrane permeable. The neuromuscular junction contains the sensory neurone(afferent), motor neurones(efferent) and the relay neurones(connector).
