A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair; one of the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of an animal, and forming a covering for a part of the head or for any part or the whole of the body. The periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin, etc. A multicellular organismal process involved in the periodic casting off and regeneration of an outer covering of cuticle, feathers, hair, horns, skin. The periodic shedding of part or all of a protein-based cuticle, which is then replaced by a new protein-based cuticle. A cuticle is the outer layer of an animal which acts to prevent water loss.
