Why are heat sensors located just under the epidermis layer of your skin and not deeper?
So they can detect heat. If the heat sensors were to be deeper then people would have more serious burns. With the heat sensors under the epidermis layer, if a person was to get burnt then it would only burn one layer of the skin. You would risk getting a higher degree burn if the heat sensors were any deeper.
Why do tattoos stay in skin if skin cells are replenished regularly?

What is the advantage for melanin granules being located in the deep layer of the epidermis?
The melanin is used to protect the cell's nucleus from the UV radiation from the sun. Since the upper layers of the skin are dead, there either is no nucleus remaining, or there simply is no need to protect the nucleus, therefore melanin granules are needed only in the deeper layers of skin
Are veins or arteries more superficial in the body?
Veins tend to be more superficial, meaning they lie closer to the surface of the skin. Arteries usually, but not always, run deeper in the tissue than veins.
What are the little veins called that are close to the skin that start with an A?
The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries. The next largest are veins. The largest are arteries. Arteries are deeper in the body than veins and capillaries, which are closer to the skin. Some veins are also deep within the body. There is no type of blood vessel starting with the letter "A" that is close to the skin.
Are most large arteries found deep inside the body?
generally yes with some exceptions (carotid artery, femoral artery, brachial artery etc) . veins are generally more superficial (closer to the skin) than arteries the theory is because this makes arteries harder to damage and makes you therefore less likely to bleed to death.
How do you get vains in your arms?
The circulatory system is made up of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the deepest, except at the neck and groin. Veins are less deep and in some places can rise along the skin's surface, such as in the crook of the elbow and the backs of hands. Capillaries extend to the skin but are small so are mostly not noticeable. The same person can have arm veins that are deeper or more superficial when looking at both arms.
Is arteries shallow beneath the surface of the skin?

How come when someone gets a cut or their skin gets open for some reason blood comes out and peoples body fluids don't?

How does the skin function to control increased temperature?
The skin dose not, but hairs raises, arteries shrink and you shiver in cold. But in hot the opposite happens hairs not raise, arteries expand and you sweat.< p>
Why it is important that the arteries be not located directly under the skin?
If the artery was directly underneath your skin then any cuts or scrapes would lead to massive blood loss. With the artery being further under the skin, it prevents this happening as much. There also would be alot of heat loss
Why do tattoos stay in skin if skin cells are replenished regularly?
