skin and the lining of the intestines.
For most of the time yes, there is one instance where it doesn't, and that is Haemophilia If I am correct
cos snakes outgrow their skin and they need to constantly shed it.
I read 28 days, but i always hear 2 weeks. i'd say in 28 days, its totally renewed.
Because we are constantly shedding dead skin cells so they need to be replaced.
Constantly, as they need to be moist to do it and if they dry out they die.
Because it is constantly producing more skin cells
The inner layer is constantly growing new cells which are pushed outward, where they desiccate and die. Each cell (as its dieing) is designed to attach itself to the cells next to it. If all goes well then you have a thin layer of dead, dry cells exposed to the outside world which slowly flake off. If the the cells are too well attached then you get flakes that are visible ... like dandruff or psoriasis.
Skin is constantly growing and replenishing itself. Like hair, old skin must fall off to reveal the new skin under it. Typically, we don't notice that skin flakes off because the friction of clothing does all the work.
Humans constantly make oil on the fingertips and other parts of the skin.
Its the 3rd layer of the skin: Epidermis - on the top, renews constantly Dermis - middle layer, doesnt really renew, this is what is damaged when you get scars, and what tattoo ink is injected into Hypodermis (not hyperdermis) - is the subcutenous layer of fat under both of these. There is no hyperdermis in the integumentary system.
they constantly breathe in and out. Their moist skin does that
