What are the two sources of new cells after a sunburn?
After a sunburn, new cells primarily arise from the skin's basal layer, where stem cells are located, and from surrounding healthy skin cells that migrate to the damaged area. The basal layer generates new keratinocytes, which proliferate and differentiate to replace the injured cells. Additionally, the inflammatory response to the sunburn can stimulate surrounding cells to divide and help repair the damaged tissue.

What parts of the skin peels off after a minor sunburn?
After a minor sunburn, the outer layer of skin, called the epidermis, may peel off. This peeling is a natural process as the damaged skin cells shed to make way for new, healthy skin to grow underneath. It is important to avoid picking at the peeling skin to prevent infection and aid in the healing process.
Which type of cell division is responsible for the repair of your skin following a sunburn?
Skin repair following a sunburn is primarily done by a type of cell division called "cell proliferation," where existing skin cells rapidly divide to replace damaged cells. This process helps to regenerate and repair the damaged skin tissues that occur due to sunburn.
Name the layer of skin that peels off after a minor sunburn?
Stratum Corneum, layer of the epidermis.
What does the ozone layer of the atmosphere have to do with skin?

Why does a sunburn peel?
A sunburn is a first degree burn. As painful as being scalded with hot water and just as damaging to the flesh killing the cells of several layers of skin cells. When skin cells die they dry and flake off and we usually never even notice. 90% of the dust in a home is comprised of dead skin cells of the occupants. Dandruff is also nothing more than dead skin cells. When you get a sunburn, the body stops supplying those cells with nutrients. The tender flesh beneath is still in close proximity to blood capillaries and nerve tissues. Standard secretion of sweat and skin oils help to push away and shed the damaged and dead skin cells when it is ready. That is what causes the peeling. It's usually better to let the skin peel naturally, so the tender flesh beneath isn't exposed until it is ready.
Why does your shirt stick to sunburnt skin?
When you have a sunburn, the skin becomes damaged and more sensitive. As a result, the fabric of your shirt or clothing can adhere to the skin due to friction. Additionally, sunburn can cause inflammation and swelling, making the skin more likely to stick to fabrics.
What is damaged when you cut your finger or get a severe sun burn?
It depends on the depth of the cut and the burn. If it bleeds, then you have damaged your dermis layer of your skin. The same is true for sunburn. Most sunburns are only a first degree burn that affects the epidermis. But a severe sunburn that is second, or even third degree can also cause damage to the dermal layer. THE INTEGUMENTARY (SKIN)
What organ has been damaged from a sunburn?
Sunburns primarily affect the skin, the body's largest organ. Prolonged or severe sunburns can lead to skin damage like peeling, blistering, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Other internal organs are not typically directly affected by sunburn.
Is a sunburn caused by gamma rays infrared rays or ultraviolet?
The ultraviolet rays in sunlight destroy cells in the outer layer of the skin, damaging tiny blood vessels underneath. When the skin is burned, the blood vessels dilate and leak fluid. Cells stop making protein. Their DNA is damaged
