Integumentary System (skin)

The subcutaneous layer.

im pretty sure its safe to say its a big pile of skin. 24/6/09

multiple. some may not even have been discovered.

the dermis

The epidermis is the top and most superficial skin layer in the body and is made of dead skins cells. You will shed these dead skin cells and they will fall., so you don't have a continuously growing layer of dead skin.

The epidermis is the layer of skin tissue on top of, or superficial to, the dermis.

The skin is the organ that contains the dermis.

The stratum basale and the stratum corneum are two of the layers of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of your skin. Within the epidermis, the stratum basale is deeper than the stratum corneum, which is the most superficial layer of the epidermis.

Keratin

Skin protects the internal organs by keeping unwanted germs and filth out which can eventually lead to infection and illness. Bacteria, germs, diseases....anything that shouldn't be inside your body are kept out by a stretchy outer covering also known as your "skin"!

Your skin acts as a protective barrier to the environment. For example, when a burn victim's skin has been damaged, their body is exposed so they are likely to develop infections more easily than an individual with no burns, lacerations, abrasions, etc.

Skin also provides protection for internal organs by helping the body to maintain its temperature and moisture content.

Yes. The parts of the integumentary system are hair, skin, nails, scales, hooves, glands, and oils.

Skin diseases can be caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, or parasites.

It depends on what type of allergy you have. If you have hay-fever it will most likely effect your eyes and give you a runny nose. If you have an allergy for nuts it usually effects your tongue and makes it swell up.

The way allergies work can vary from person to person. Some people have skin reactions like bumps, rashes, and whelps. They can also make your nose, eyes, and throat itch. Sometimes a person's throat can swell and close shut. The eyes can do the same thing, swell shut. So, allergies can have effects on every party of the body, depending on what kind of allergy it is.

The epidermis is the part of the skin that faces the outside or enviroment. The dermis is the layer just under the epidermis that contains hair follicles,nerves,blood and lymph vessels - the layer you get the sense of touch from. It is made of connective tissue. The function of the dermis is to be the major support structure for the epidermis. It contains the strength in its fibers and is considered to be the true skin. It also supplies the epidermis with blood and nutrients.

The skin will wrinkle because your skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer is called the epidermis and the lower level is the dermis. The outer layer (epidermis) produces an oily substance called sebum. You can see this substance when you touch a window or mirror and your "oily" fingerprint is left there. One job sebum does is it keeps water out of your skin-a job that it does very well. However, after long periods of time in a swimming pool, shower, or bathtub, much of the sebum is washed off and your outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. As it absorbs water it swells, but since the epidermis is "tied" down to your dermis in certain spots, it expands more where it is not "tied" down and this causes your skin to wrinkle. The difference between your skin and a raisin is that raisins wrinkle because they shrink, but your skin wrinkles because it is getting bigger. Once you get out of the pool or tub, the water that your skin absorbed will evaporate, your skin will return to its usual size, and you body will produce more sebum. Your fingers and toes will be back to normal in no time.

It is not classifeied as one. It is considered an epithelial tissue (protective).

It depends on what you mean by inside. It covers the body, so the logical answer would be the rest of your body organs. If you mean what is inside the dermis itself, since it is considered to be the true skin, it has to be strong to protect the body, so it has a high percentage of collagen and elastin fibers to make it not only strong but also pliable and supple.

There are so many different things that can cause a blister. You can get a blister from a burn or from using an area of skin for a long time. An example would be, cutting brush or pulling weeds.

Sebum is an oily substance that is naturally secreted from the sebacious glands in your hair and skin that keeps your skin and hair moisturized.

When you go into the sun, your body produces heat to your skin. When in the sun too long, your body will start to burn into a red color, causing your body to hurt when moving afterwards. This is known as a sun burn. Sunblock 15 is the best way of curing this because if you do not take care of your skin properly with this certain sunblock, there are ways of creating skin cancer.

Skin depth varies quite a bit from individual to individual, but the average for facial skin is 1.3 mm. Eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body and averages 0.05 mm.

As a point of reference, the skin of the back is the thickest on the human body and averages 5 mm.

measured in metric: between 17 micron to 180 micron (1000 micron in 1 mm) (1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches

skin

skin on the body is directly attached to muscle underneath the skin, and skin on the face isn't, there are muscles in some areas on the face, but we cant maneuver certain small areas of our face

also the oil glands are more active on the face, compared to the bodys oil glands, that's why we cant use body lotion on our face and vice versa

The skin we see is the epidermis, then the layer just beneath it is the dermis and finally hypodermis. The hypodermis is made up of fatty tissue but it is all technically skin unless you are asking about muscle.
