Answer:

Forensic scientists may look for the presence or absence of a medulla, which is a set of cells that runs through a hair. The medulla is typically different depending on the species that the hair came from, which makes it one way to distinguish between animal and human hair.

Explanation: i've watched a lot of crime shows.

Medulla is a set of cells that runs through a hair.

To identify different species of hair, it is necessary to look at the medulla pattern to determine the origin of the hair.
