Epidermis

plate of the nail is made of a protein named “keratin” which is transparent and flexible but durable enough to retain a shape and protect the nail bed. Underneath the nail plate is the nail bed which is composed of two parts, the dermis and the epidermis. The purpose of the nail bed is to house the nail matrix, which grows the nail and stabilize the nail’s foundation. The nail plate and nail bed work as a barrier for the skin but also a way for any diseases to be noticed from outside the body.…

Results and Discussion A. Diffusion of selected plant pigments In conducting the diffusion of 4 different kinds of treatments (distilled water, distilled water placed in boiling bath, vegetable oil, heated vegetable oil), the researchers made use of the atsuete and sugar beets. The different kinds of treatments determined how the temperature will affect the color intensity of the atsuete and sugar beets. There were 4 test tubes used in each atsuete and sugar beets with each having a…

Choice “C” is the best answer. Hidradenitis suppurative (HD) is a chronic, recurrent, debilitating disease that presents with painful, inflamed lesions in the apocrine-gland–bearing areas of the body, most commonly the axillary, inguinal, and anogenital areas. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) has traditionally been considered a disorder of the apocrine glands however, it is now known to actually be a defect of the follicular epithelium; therefore, there is a movement towards calling the disease…

Nowadays, pressure ulcer has getting broaden and affect the community especially among older generation that gives difficulties and pain to the patient. They probably have a hard time on doing daily activities and could not join community activities. Thus, as a member of health sciences, we have a big responsibility to provide the treatment so that the disease would be cure. Pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer, bedsore and pressure sore shares the same meaning. The wounds that expand…

which were isolated from humans (Thomer et al., 2015). These bacteria were named S. aureus and S. albus. This nomenclature was proposed because S. aureus forms yellow colonies while S. albus forms white colonies. S. albus was later renamed, S. epidermis (Thomer et al., 2015). The yellow color associated with the S. aureus colonies is produced by the membrane-bound carotenoid, Staphyloxanthin. This pigment production helps to protect the bacteria from phagocytic killing (Thomer et al., 2015).…

Stem cell function Over the course of human history, medicine has come along way. Centuries ago, we thought that he body was composed of different liquids called humors and if you were unlucky to get sick during this time, your blood would have been withdrawn in a process known as "blood-letting". In modern time, we can give antibiotics, perform open-heart surgery and even operate on the brain. However, one of the newest advances in medicine is stem cell research, which is a promising new field…

differentiate (Reece 2014). The zone of cell division continues to produce cells above the root cap allowing for the continuous growth of the root. The roots are composed of xylem and phloem tissues covered by vascular tissue encased in ground tissue and epidermis (Reece 2014). The vascular cylinder contains xylem which transports water from the root to the leaves and phloem tissue that enables the transportation of glucose from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Eudicot roots will display a…

of stem cells include: Hematopeitic (which gives rise to blood cells), Mesenchymal (which includes nerve cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes), Epithelial (which is located in the digestive tract), and skin (located at the basal layer of the epidermis and the base of the hair…

Due to my father’s affiliation with the Department of Defense, my childhood was mainly spent living overseas in the Kaiserslautern Military Community in Germany.
