9. Lanugo. The word is from the Latin lan and means ?wooly down?. This hair suit is shed before or soon after birth. Each hair of the lanugo is shed one by one and is then swallowed by the baby.

One must admit that this is a rather interesting way of ridding ourselves of our first unwanted clothes!
