Where is vellus hair not found?

  1. On the scalp

  2. On the legs

  3. On the palms of the hands

  4. In the armpits

The correct answer is: On the palms of the hands

Vellus hair is a fine type of hair that is typically found on the body, in contrast to thicker and darker hairs such as terminal hair. This type of hair is commonly found on areas of the body such as the arms, legs, chest, and face. However, unlike the other options listed, vellus hair is not found on the palms of the hands as these areas do not have hair follicles. This means that the palms of the hands do not have the potential to grow any type of hair, including vellus hair.
