Epidermis

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

UV lights is UVB; “B” stands for burning (“Understanding UV Radiation”). This type of UV light does not have enough energy to penetrate through the skin to provoke the cells underneath, but it does considerable damage to the surface layer, the epidermis (“UVA and UVB”). It plays the opposite role of UVA light by actively causing skin cancer and contributing to the aging of skin (“UVA and UVB”). However, its intensity and effectiveness differ depending on the area’s “season, location, and…

of the three phases are altered. This can lead to a failure in the healing of wounds and this can be seen in a prolonged inflammatory phase, if infections are continuous, if biofilms are formed that are resistant to drugs or if the cells of the epidermis and dermis do not respond to stimuli (Rice, 2013). These types of wounds are seen when the impaired wound last for over three months and it is possible that it will last for years (Cukjati, 2001). The phase that chronic wounds often get stuck in…

kambingBanyak meat content of animal fat and protein that are beneficial to the body. This is the function of fat reserves for energy sources other than foods containing carbohydrates. Fat here also serves to coat the body, that is located below the epidermis tissue. This is what makes you always warm in the winter. While the protein works to repair damaged body cells. Protein also helps in the formation of new cells. Goat meat processing is rated…

Since 1988 the plant Crupina vulgaris or the Common Crupina has been listed as a class A weed, it has invaded many parts of the Western United States, its has become a growing concern for many as it can grow quickly and is difficult to get rid of. C. vulgaris is native to Mediterranean Europe. It is a flowering plant, or angiosperm from the family Asteraceae, that can grow up to three feet tall. The stems of the plant are leafy and rigid with small spines and rounded 1/2 inch leaves near the…

The subphylum Vertebrata includes all the familiar animals we tend to see everyday, and some rare and unusual ones (O’Neil, 2012). Scientists classify the seven different Vertebrates based on their skeletal system, general environmental adaptation, and reproductive systems. These seven Vertebrates include, Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes, Amphibia, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. During the lab dissection, the class dissected organism from only four of these classes. First, we dissected the…

unusual piercings. Tattoo refer to a permanent mark on skin. In order to own a tattoo, a person have to go through a relatively painful process which involves penetrating the skin to insert inerasable ink into the top layer of human skin, known as epidermis (Guia Marie Del Prado, 2015). Despite some negative impact to workplace, people in Western country still consider it is normal for a mature person to own tattoos. However, it is not the same in Asia, especially Vietnam in which people often…

oil is a very common ingredient in skin care products, primarily for its anti-aging effects. The oil is believed to increase skin elasticity and prevent sagging skin. It also functions as an astringent, which makes skin tissues, blood vessels and epidermis contract. Moreover, it helps prevent fine line and wrinkles from forming. The oil is also used to help lighten scar and skin spots; and achieve healthier, clearer skin. Geranium oil is known as a potent acne fighter and ease symptoms of…

Whenever people hear the word burn, they imagine a sweltering sensation that is commonly associated with touching something hot, like a hot stove or a pot. However, It is more than just that: it is characterized as damage to our skin or even to deeper layer that can cause severe or permanent damage if it is not handled properly. It is the most common form of injury in the home, especially in children. The items that can cause burns are common household items that we interact with on a daily…

TH1 cells, which create immune system responses to pathogens. This inhibition of immune system reaction can increase infections and decrease immunity to those infections (“Health and Environmental”). Another skin problem is lesions or sores on the epidermis or other organs of the body on large animals exposed to excessive UV radiation such as whales, dolphins, and seals, which in some cases results in death (Mueller). Animal biological effects due to…
