Which type of hair covers the majority of the human body?

Lanugo

Terminal

Vellus

Vellus hair is the type that covers the majority of the human body. Lanugo hair is only present during the fetal stage and usually shed before birth, so it is not a correct answer. Terminal hair is coarse, dark hair that grows in specific areas such as the scalp, face, armpits, and pubic region, but it does not cover the majority of the body. Medullary hair refers to the inner structure of a hair and is not a type of hair that covers the body. So the best answer is Vellus hair.
