Severe acne on the face, chest, and back can cause permanent changes in the skin that we refer to as acne scarring. When pores become clogged with bacteria, oil, and dead skin, it causes inflammation and swelling of the pore. Follicle walls in the skin break because of this swelling. During the repair process, new collagen fibers are formed; however, this process does not return the skin back to its original condition. Once the repair process is complete, it is common to see permanent acne scars…

An abscess is a pus filled pocket or blister within the skin that may be caused by a number of different reasons such as; a sebaceous gland or sweat gland becomes obstructed, a hair follicle or a group of hair follicles becomes inflamed, or minor breaks and punctures in the skin allow bacteria to invade causing redness, warmth, pain, inflammation, and pus formation. This disturbance of the skin is no stranger to history as there have been documented cases of abscesses from before the Roman era…

(n.d.). Evaporation provides the major defense against overheating. The body’s surface contains approximately 2 million sweat glands. When the hypothalamus senses an increase in core temperature it will act by increasing blood flow to the skin, stimulating the sweat glands. The result is an increase in the rate of water loss through sweating which helps cool down (Vella, S, & Kravitz, n.d.). Physiology of Cardiovascular System Short-term: A physical…

“Every living thing on the surface of the planet has a system to synchronize [itself] with day and night” (Barone 8). Sleep is a natural part of life and most people, at some point in their life, experiences difficulty sleeping. Today, however, sleep disruption is becoming a more prominent issue due to the rising number of electronic devices.

I froze in horror as I read the Facebook message that was sent to me. He’s gone. My heart fell to my gut. I felt a sharp pain down my spine. My head started throbbing- I wanted to throw up. My body trembled, and my hands turned to ice. I started looking around the room to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. I was trying to wake myself up from a nightmare that was my reality. According to Sapolsky, a neuroscientist of great renown, a “Stressor” is an event in the outside world that knocks you out of…

Acne occurs in many pediatric adolescent patients. The initial cause of acne is a “clogged pore” which is keratin and sebum that rises to the surface of the skin. During puberty, androgens are released in the skin that elicits the glands to produce more sebum. The extra sebum mixes with the keratinocytes, plugs the pilosebaceous follicles to produce a “clogged pore” which is obstruction of comedones also known as blackheads and whiteheads (Ball, Bindler, & Cowen, 2015, P 1047). Open comedones…
