What else can I help you with?
What protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation?
Melanin is a substance produced by the skin that protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation. It also gives skin its color.
What is the only vitamin produced naturally?
Vitamin D. It is produced in small quantities when the skin is exposed to natural sunlight and UV radiation.
Greater amounts of what pigment are produced when the skin is exposed to the sun?
Melanin is the pigment produced in greater amounts when the skin is exposed to the sun. Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes in response to UV radiation as a defense mechanism to protect the skin from damage.
Is fat soluble produced in the skin on exposure to UV radiation and necessary for normal bone growth and function?
Yes, vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to UV radiation. It is essential for normal bone growth and function as it helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus from the diet, which are crucial for maintaining healthy bones.
What is radiation and how does sweat radiate from skin?
Radiation is energy emitted in the form of waves or particles. When sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin, it evaporates and releases heat energy from the body through a process called radiation. The heat energy is transferred from the skin to the surrounding environment through the emission of infrared radiation.
What is the infrared radiation emitted from a candle?
The infrared radiation emitted from a candle is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye. It is produced as a result of the heat generated by the candle flame and can be felt as warmth by our skin.
Give an example of infrared radiation and uv radiation?
An example of infrared radiation is the heat emitted by a fire pit. An example of UV radiation is the light produced by the sun that can cause skin damage.
What is the fat soluble produced in skin on exposure to UV radiation and necessary for normal bone growth and function?
Vitamin D
Why is skin black?
Skin color is determined by the amount of melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes in the skin. People with darker skin have more melanin, which helps protect against harmful UV radiation from the sun.
What is sun burns?
Sun burn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet, radiation, commonly from the sun's rays.
What pigment is found in the granular layer of the skin?
The pigment found in the granular layer of the skin is melanin. Melanin is produced by melanocytes and gives the skin its color, as well as provides protection against UV radiation.
What does ultraviolet radiation from the sun do to the skin and cells?
UV radiation is harmful to skin. It causes skin cancer.
