DESCRIBE the anatomy and physiology of the skin in relation to skin breakdown AND the development of pressure sores. The skin is one of the largest organs in the body in surface area and weight. The skin consists of three layers: the epidermis‚ the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The skin has three main functions: protection‚ regulation and sensation. The skin is an organ has many functions 1. Protection. The primary function of the skin is to act as a barrier. The skin provides protection

Question: investigate the water potential of potato tissue? Introduction All cells require essential materials to ensure their survival. Chemical‚ physical‚ and biological processes are used to move these materials inside of cells. Similar processes move waste materials outside of cells. These processes can be passive‚ occurring as a result of basic physical laws and requiring no outside energy from the cell or they can be active‚ requiring energy expenditure. Since all molecules possess kinetic

Derivatives a. Protoderm - becomes the epidermis b. Procambium - becomes the vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) c. Ground Meristem - becomes the cortex and pith B.

remain oblivious. Sunscreens made of zinc oxide or titanium oxide are the most natural‚ safe and potent types of sunscreens out there. These kinds of sunscreens sit on the surface of the skin and physically block UV light from harming the epidermis. The only downside to these UV blocking minerals is their heavy feel on the skin‚ as well as their white cast. Other ingredients that may be more commonly found in some of the most popular‚ commercial sunscreens are oxybenzone‚ also referred to as

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

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
