obvious protective function

Finally, hairs not only serve to maintain body heat. They have an obvious protective function, since they cover the skin and protect it from bumps, rubbing, from the sun, etc. Some hairs are specialized and fulfill specific functions Princess Hair. I could highlight two of these functions here.

The first, the sensitive hairs (vibrissae) that have many animals in the snout. These rigid hairs are connected with nerve endings under the skin, so that they serve as sensory organs; Many animals, like cats, use them to move in the dark.
