PPT-STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE SKIN

The skin the interface between humans and their environment Skin is your passport into the world Skin can decide if you are or criminal innocent Skin can decide your race Skin is the largest organ in the body. Puncture wounds often introduce bacteria beneath the skin The bacteria thrive in this ideal environment because t he puncture wound closes and no drainage occurs The body responds to the bacterial infection by sending white blood cells to the site a 8 m It has several functions the most important being to form a physical barrier to the environment allowing and limiting the inward and outward passage of water electrolytes and various substances while providing protection against microorganisms u Please take 2 minutes to answer this question – THINKING ABOUT THE LAB:. How does the skin on the back of your hand compare to the palm?. What angle does the hair leave the skin of your hand?. Small cuts on the palm usually don’t bleed or cause pain.. Gustavo Caetano - .

(How do we implement efficiently/robustly?). Geometry Processing in Detail. Symmetry Detection. What is structure?. What is function?. The . structure. is the shape of each part of a living thing. . Function. . describes how the part . is used . or how it works.. Velcro, a road reflector, a video game joystick, and a submarine's ballast tanks all have structures inspired by nature.. Two kinds of tissue compose the skin. Epidermis. Dermis. Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) . Anchors the skin to underlying organs. Not technically part of the integumentary system. Composed mostly of adipose tissue. Part II: Proteins & Nucleic Acids. The FOUR Classes of Large Biomolecules. All living things are made up of four classes of large biological molecules: . Carbohydrates . Lipids. Protein. N. ucleic Acids.
