The Skin
15
Epidermis: the outer layer of cells covering an organism, in particular.
Melanin:a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.
Dermis:the thick layer of living tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and other structures.
Oil Glands:The sebaceous glands are microscopic exocrine glands in the skin that secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair of mammals.
Sweat Glands:a small gland that secretes sweat, situated in the dermis of the skin. Such glands are found over most of the body, and have a simple coiled tubular structure.
Thicker:with opposite sides or surfaces that are a great or relatively great distance apart
Thinner:a volatile solvent used to make paint or other mixtures less viscous.
Blood Vessels:a tubular structure carrying blood through the tissues and organs; a vein, artery, or capillary.
Nerve Endings:A free nerve ending (FNE) is an unspecialized, afferent nerve ending, meaning it brings information from the body's periphery toward the brain. They function as cutaneous receptors and are essentially used by vertebrates to detect pain.
Fatty Layer:superficial portion of the subcutaneous tissue of certain areas of the body that is specialized for fat storage and thus often has an abundance of fat, especially in an overnourished person
Ultraviolet Rays:UV radiation. Invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun. UV radiation can damage the skin and cause melanoma and other types of skin cancer. UV radiation that reaches the earth's surface is made up of two types of rays, called UVA and UVB rays.
Vitamin D:any of a group of vitamins found in liver and fish oils, essential for the absorption of calcium and the prevention of rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. They include calciferol ( vitamin D2 ) and cholecalciferol ( vitamin D3 ).
Protection:he action of protecting someone or something, or the state of being protected.
Sensory Responses:Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli.
Bruises:an injury appearing as an area of discolored skin on the body, caused by a blow or impact rupturing underlying blood vessels.
