What is true about the anagen phase of hair growth?

1. Hair cells are produced faster than any other normal cells in the body

2. Hair falls out rapidly

3. The hair is in a resting state

4. The hair transitions to the next phase

The correct answer is: Hair cells are produced faster than any other normal cells in the body

The anagen phase of hair growth is the active growth phase where hair cells are produced at a rapid rate. This means that option A is the correct answer as it describes a key characteristic of the anagen phase. Option B is incorrect because hair falling out rapidly would not occur during the anagen phase, but instead during the telogen or resting phase. Option C is also incorrect because the anagen phase is not a resting state, but rather an active phase. Lastly, option D is incorrect because the hair does not transition to the next phase, the anagen phase is the first phase of the hair growth cycle.
