The correct answer is
A, C, B, D

Trans Follicular Route Absorption Sequence

Percutaneous absorption, specifically through the trans follicular route, involves the passage of substances via the hair follicle and its associated structures. The correct sequence outlines the path from initial entry to deeper skin layers.

Understanding the Trans Follicular Pathway

The trans follicular route leverages the hair follicle as a potential pathway for absorption into the skin. This pathway bypasses the stratum corneum barrier to some extent.

Step-by-Step Absorption Process

The sequence describes how a substance moves after encountering the skin surface:

  • A. Partitioning into sebaceous gland: Substances first interact with and may partition into the sebaceous gland, which is associated with the hair follicle. This is often an initial step in the follicular pathway.
  • C. Partitioning into viable epidermis: Following interaction with the follicle/sebaceous gland, the substance partitions into the lipid-rich viable epidermis, preparing for deeper penetration.
  • B. Diffusion through viable epidermis: Once partitioned, the substance diffuses through the layers of the viable epidermis.
  • D. Diffusion through upper dermis: Finally, the substance can diffuse into the underlying upper dermis, reaching deeper vascularized tissue.

Therefore, the correct sequence representing the trans follicular route is A, C, B, D.
