• The cells of the lower layers of the epidermis are knit together in a more consistent "basket weave" configuration, instead of a haphazard arrangement. • The barrier function of the epidermis is disrupted in the first 24 hours causing the skin to be drier than usual. • However, after 7 days the skin is more hydrated than before. Effects of Microdermabrasion on the Dermis • The thickness of the dermis is increased • The number of collagen fibres are increased and they are thicker, more tightly packed, and more consistently organised •…
Skin – *The skin of pigeon like any other vertebrate composed of two layers – outer epidermis and inner dermis. *Epidermis is ectodermal in origin while dermis is mesodermal in origin. *Epidermis is in turn made up of two layers viz. , stratum corneum and stratum germinativum or profoundum. *Stratum corneum is multilayered, outer part of epidermis which is keratinized without any uni or multi cellular gland cell.…
Foundation is a colored makeup that comes in both liquid and powder forms. Foundation is used to visually even out skin discolorations, cover flaws, lessen the look of pores, level out skin texture, disguise blemishes and offer a base for other types of makeup. Being a versatile makeup, foundation can be applied in different colors, and styles. For example, foundation can be applied thinly or densely over the skin depending on the coverage needed or it can be selected based on the users skin type. With so many different types and consistencies of foundation, there are also different application tools that can be used.…
The dermis is the inner and thicker layer of the skin and is a fibrous connective tissue that provides strength to the skin (lecture supplement, ch.6). When injury or damage occurs to the skin, it goes through 4 different phases to repair itself. The first being homeostasis because of the body and its structures natural response to keep things the same at all times. The second stage would be inflammation, where the damaged and dead cells are cleared out of the wound. The third stage is proliferation where new tissue is grown to replace the damaged tissue and its structures.…
The main function of the epidermis is protection but does other things as well, such as absorption of nutrients and a thing or two with homeostasis. The epidermis is made up of mainly epithelial cells but also contains four other cells and covers the outside of the body or otherwise known as the body surface. The other four cells are Keratinocytes are a fibrous protein which protects the epidermis, Melanocytes produces a brown pigment and protects the skin from UV light, Langerhans cells deals with immune response, and Merkel cells gives us the sense of touch. There are also five sublayers that are associated with the epidermis. The stratum corneum is the outmost layer contain many layers of dead keratinocytes which continually shed and replace to form new healthy cells (Rapid Learning).…
As mention before the skin can either be thin or thick. The epidermis thinness is in the eyelids, and it is thick in palms of the hands. Epidermis layer is made up of cells such as basal cells and squamous cells. Basal cells and squamous cells work together to constantly to rebuild the…
Polyester has an exceptionally smooth luxurious hand and appears to be to some degree frosty to the touch. This smoothness of composition is because of the smooth straight attributes of the polyester fiber which when seen under a magnifying lens looks like that of a glass pole with no surface elements and has an almost superbly round cross segment. The appearance also, surface of polyester can be modified to some degree amid the assembling process, be that as it may, regardless it holds the trademark smooth hand and sheen (Nielson 57). Polyester fibers or strands are made from polyethylene terephthalate polymers and is a medium weight fiber which heavier and more thick than Nylon ("Engineered Fibers"). The strands long smooth and general surface…
Skin is the largest organ in our body that serves a lot of important functions. Firstly, it acts as a protective barrier against mechanical injury, loss of body fluids, chemicals, particles, microbes and UV radiation. [1] It also provides sensation for touch, temperature, pressure and pain. [1] Besides, it allows mobility by providing a surface for grip. [1] It also has a role in homeostasis of body temperature.…
When trying to achieve glowing skin sometimes its easy to forget that what is happening on the inside is much more important that what you are rubbing on the outside. The Integumentary system, consisting of your skin, hair and nails is an organ; in fact, it’s your body’s largest organ and it’s main function is to act as a physical, chemical and antimicrobial barrier. The condition of your skin can say a lot about your health and common skin conditions can actually be a sign that your gut isn’t functioning properly.…
The skin is formed of two layers, the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is made of squamous cells, basal cells, and melanocytes scattered throughout the basal cells. Melanocytes are located in the deepest part of the epidermis and produce the pigments of our skin. Exposing our skin to UV radiation causes the melanocytes to produce more pigment giving us the appearance of being tan. The melanocyte is the birthplace of a deadly skin cancer…
Anthropocentric idealism is destroying the earth; to believe humans are the most important being on the planet is ridiculous, and extremely selfish. Because of this ideal, non domestic animals are considered of lesser value, and are used for our benefit (whether it be for food, clothing, or other goods.) These animals are not afforded the rights that all living beings deserve- the right to a pain free life and the right to live. This is what vegans fight for, they fight for animal rights, and the end of animal based products to create a healthier and more humane earth. Veganism is a lifestyle that aims to avoid as much abuse and exploitation of animals as possible.…
The integumentary system is comprised of the skin’s two layers, the dermis and epidermis, as well as hair, nails, glands, and nerves. Underlying the skin is the subcutaneous layer, or hypodermis, this layer is not a part of the integumentary system but is vital to its function. Made up of a layer of loose connective tissue the hypodermis serves to connect the skin to underlying muscle and bone (142). The hypodermis also assists the overlying skin by supplying it with blood vessels and nerves (Vanputte, Regan, & Russo 149). Superficial to the hypodermis is the deepest skin layer, the dermis.…
Damaged skin and the mistakes you are doing Damaged skin is a condition that compromises one's look to the extent of becoming recluse. It is a sign that comprises of rashes, redness, acne scars, pigmentation, freckles, mole, wrinkles, and flaccid cheeks. When afflicted, you will not feel like looking in the mirror. You will also cut down on your social activities and desperately opt for DIY methods to get out of our misery. In that attempt, you fail to realize the mistakes you are doing to overcome damage skin.…
Human skin is made up of five layers, stratum corneum, stratum lucidern, stratum granolosum, stratum spinosum, and the basal layer. Two of the main skin color pigments keratin and melanin are found in human skin. Melanin is in the top two layers stratum corneum and lucidern. Keratin is in the bottom three layers stratum granolosum, spinisum, and the basal layer.…
It has been long stated that the body has the amazing ability to heal and repair itself. When said, it was in relation to minor cuts, bruises and abrasions, but perhaps this thinking limits the body’s ability. Perhaps the body does have this self-repairing ability, but on a much larger scale, such as the ability to repair larger organs such as the heart, lungs, or bigger things. Well, these studies are currently being reviewed and tested, it is actually a scientific study called Tissue Engineering. Tissue Engineering, according to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is the study of the growth of new connective tissues, or organs, from cells and a collagenous scaffold to produce a fully functional organ for implantation back into the donor host,…
