Introduction to Clinical Dermatology We’ll start with the basic structure of the skin‚ and as we probably know‚ the skin consists of two layers: dermis and epidermis. The epidermis has only one type of structures which are cells -no blood vessels‚ no lymphatics-‚ and the majority of those cells (about 85% of those cells) are called “keratinocytes”. The rest are called melanocytes‚ merkel cells‚ and langerhans cells. The cells in the epidermis are arranged into 4 layers: * Basal layer: it

CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION Background of the study Stickcane also known as Carizo‚ Arundo‚ Spanish cane or giant reed‚ is widely known in the Philippines. It is usually used as trellis. It is a strong candidate for use as renewable biofuel source because of its fast growth rate‚ ability to grow in different soil types and climatic conditions. This can provide a superior renewable energy biomass source of environmental benefits. It provides below ground carbon sequestion in addition to its above
