Welcome to the skin layers with our top layer called the Epidermis‚ the middle layer called the Dermis‚ and the bottom layer called the Subcutaneous Fat. The Epidermis guards the body and is full of Melanin which helps prevent sunburns‚ while the Dermis is stretchy‚ and stores a variety of sweat glands. However‚ MedlinePlus says that sunburned cells look much different than normal cells. Sun’s rays penetrate the outer skin‚ or the Epidermis‚ which destroys the Dermis‚ and results in the killing of

without exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The sun’s rays contain two types of ultraviolet radiation that reach your skin: UVA and UVB. UVB radiation burns the upper layers of skin (the epidermis)‚ causing sunburns. UVA radiation is what makes people tan. UVA rays penetrate to the lower layers of the epidermis‚ where they trigger cells called melanocytes to produce melanin. Melanin is the brown pigment that causes tanning. Melanin is the body’s way of protecting skin from burning. Darker-skinned

in a process called oxidation reduction. 4. Understand the form and function of all parts of plant leaves and how they assist in the basic functions associated with plant life? The top layer of leaves are the waxy cuticle layer and the upper epidermis‚ which provide protection and prevents water loss. Below is the palisade mesophyll layer‚ composed of long column-like chloroplast cells which absorbs light to be used in photosynthesis. Xylem carries water and minerals‚ while phloem carries starches

They are could epidermis‚ dermis and the hypodermis. Epidermis is the outer layer of the skin it is the second largest layer of the skin. Epidermis is a combination of four layers and out of three cells they are melanocytes‚ keratocytes and Langerhans cells with all this thing in this layer of the skin it must be fixable and strong

What is Epidermolysis Bullosa? Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is the term used to describe a genetically-determined skin disorder. It is a group of blistering skin conditions where the skin is so fragile in people with EB that even minor rubbing may cause blistering. All forms of EB are genetic in origin and the genes responsible for most of the sub-types of the condition are now known. It is estimated that 2 to 4 out of every 100‚000 people‚ or up to 12‚000 people in the United States‚ have some form

The first thing you see when you look at a person is their skin. It’s the largest organ of the body that’s made of epithelial tissue. It consists of two main layers‚ the epidermis and the dermis. As it’s the first thing in contact with the environment around us‚ it acts as a protective layer. Skin cancer is the rapid uncontrollable growth of abnormal skin cells that’s usually triggered by ultraviolet radiation. When skin cells with damaged DNA grow rapidly they form tumors.
