Integumentary System (skin)

The stratum corneum is the most superficial layer of the skin. It is not the deepest or most foundational layer of the skin.

Collagen fibers give the skin flexibility.

No.

Seeking shadow at mid-day, when the sun is at its highest is the only fool-proof protection. Secondary is using protective sun lotion with a high enough factor.

There are two major parts to what we call the skin. The epidermis and the dermis.
The dermis is a blood rich layer that contains a number of cells including the ones that produce pigment, keratinized epithelium (hair follicles), glandular epithelium (sweat, sebaceous glands), dense irregular connective tissue (collagen), smooth muscle tissue (arrector pili muscles), nervous tissue (Meissner's & Pacinian Corpuscles), and blood vessels.

The epidermis is a layer whose cells become more and more filled with keratin and begin to die as they reach the surface.

There is layer underneath called the hypodermis which contains fatty tissue but it is not part of the skin.

no

Sebaceous glands secrets sebum into the hair follicle which keeps the hair and epidermal surface pliable and waterproof

When your fingers prune, The cells are actually swelling unevenly. This is called a "hypotonic solution" The cells are taking in so much water that they will swell, causing the pruning. :)

Your skin as the patriotic colors, let's salute the red, white, and blue

In the Dermis.

EPIDERMIS

Human skin is called skin. It is part of the integumetary system which consists of skin and its derivatives like nails, glands, and hair.

hair follicles

The eyes, nostrils, mouth and lips, internal organs, hair, and nails.

Skin mainly. It's the most waterproof structure many organisms have. Of course, many animals also need to protect their skin from drying out by keeping wet, like frogs and slugs. ^^

The respiratory system.

This is one of layer in epidermis of the skin. Lucidum means transparent. You do not have typical nuclei to be seen in this layer. They have got disintegrated for lack of blood supply, probably.

No, melanin helps protect the skin from ultraviolet damage. Sebum helps protect the skin from dryness.

This may be silly, but you can put a bag of ice in your under-arms or in between your thighs. these are hot spots in your body where major veins and arteries run. when you put something cool there, it cools the blood stream. plus, it just feels very refreshing. believe it or not, Cheyenne pepper lowers the internal body temperature. so mix a 1/2 or 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in with water and chug it. it has many medicinal values and will do great things for your body all the way down.

Depending upon how much you sweat or how dirty your environment is, you could shower anywhere from 4 to 10 times a week. It is recommended to shower once every two days if you aren't as active, same going for your sebaceous glands [you don't have oily skin]. Just to be safe, shower daily with soaps labeled 'daily' as not to dry out your skin. Also be sure to moisturize.

I believe that the human skin is composed of three primary layers: the epidermis, which provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection; the dermis, which serves as a location for the appendages of skin; and the hypodermis (subcutaneous adipose layer). thats what i think anyway hehe enjoy

The intergumentary system is the largest system in the body and includes the skin, the hair, the nails, the nerves and the sweat glands. It provides a physical barrier between the internal human body and the external world. Without it our organs would be exposed to bacteria, the environment we live in and disease.

It's nothing in the soap, but rather its the absences of dirt and oil after you wash that makes your skin lighter

Fat in the hypodermis provides mechanical cushioning as well as insulation for the body.

Yes. Epi means on so that means the epidermis is on the dermis. Derm means skin.
