What happens during the catagen phase of hair growth?

  1. Hair grows rapidly

  2. Hair sheds spontaneously

  3. Hair begins to destroy itself as it disconnects from the papilla

  4. Hair enters a resting phase

The correct answer is: Hair begins to destroy itself as it disconnects from the papilla

During the catagen phase, the hair follicle undergoes an involution process in which it begins to detach from the nourishing papilla. This leads to the destruction of the hair as it disconnects from its main source of nutrients. Option A is incorrect because hair does not grow rapidly during this phase. Option B is incorrect because hair shedding typically occurs during the telogen phase, not the catagen phase. Option D is also incorrect because the hair is not actually in a resting phase during catagen, but rather is undergoing significant changes and preparing for the next phase of growth.
