Pigment

people are hesitant to undergo hair removal with a laser. In addition, not only do they think it's painful, they are a bit afraid of the use of a laser. Laser hair removal works by concentrating light onto the hair follicles you want to remove. The pigments in the hair follicle absorb the laser light. This destroys the hair, making it drop…

can’t be spread by touch or bodily fluid. Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis or Tree-Man Disease is often very rare. The disease usually starts during infancy (7.5%), childhood (61.5%) or puberty (22%) with a progressive increase or decrease in the pigment of the skin. The cause of the condition is an inactivating PH mutation in either the EVER1 or EVER2 genes, which are located adjacent to one another on chromosome 17. Flat…

Skin is the most apparent and the biggest organ on the human body. Nina Jablonski the speaker, conveys the theme about how skin color is that specific color because of environmental climate factors. She communicates that the region that the person lives in will have a participating factor in what color their skin. Nina identifies that we all started off in an homogeneous community and have evolved into our diversity that is projected today. Nina focuses her evaluation with 2 main explorers…

Formal as Content Prosodies#1: Prosodies #1 is a large three-dimensional sculpture created by Dianna Frid in 2013. It’s one of three figures that form part of a bigger gallery. Made of embroidery loops, plaster, paint, cloth, paper, powder pigments, metal, and cellophane, the figure is placed on a white background with only its “shadow” separating it from its surroundings. Prosodies #1 uses the repetitive shape and pattern of circles to build the sculpture from the base. Some unique features of…

One of the very first symptoms that was listed is something called drusen. As the article “Age-related Macular Degeneration” says, “drusen (bumps) are very common in the elderly and they appear as yellow deposits either under the pigment epithelium, or may be prominently found in or around the macula” (n.pag.). I understood this to mean that the eye basically makes more eye crumbs than usual, but they can be bigger and more painful. There are also symptoms that have to do with changes…

There are many types of skin cancer but the three main types of skin cancer which are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Even though there are three major types of skin cancer this essay will be focusing on Melanoma. Before I can discuss how Melanoma works we have to understand the anatomy of the Skin tissue. In the human body our skin is the protection between the external environment and internal organs. The human body skin can be different in the thickness of the…

"Smokers tend to have more wrinkles than nonsmokers of the same age". These changes can happen from environmental changes, genetic makeup, nutrition, and sun exposure. UV exposure can damage the elastin fibers in the skin (Haines 2). The natural pigments provide some protection against sun damage (Minaker 1), although elastin breakdown can cause the skin to sag, tear or bruise more easily, or the skin to take longer to heal (Haines 2). More causes of skin aging is stress, gravity, obesity, daily…

Porphyria is named from the ancient Greek word porphura, meaning purple. The Greeks borrowed the term from the Phoenicians, who extracted a purple pigment from purpura mollusks to dye the garments of their royal family. (Lane 2002). Porphyrias are so diverse due to the fact that they have symptoms that can be considered somewhat slight to extreme and some are considered a common Porphyria to a rare disorder and are classified into 8 different types and are put in 2 main headings, Acute Porphyria…

enclosure wall and the well. The temple precinct had an area of 74×51 meters; the temple itself is much smaller - 13×16m. Its entrance faces east. The outer walls don't have much decoration but on the inside the reliefs are well preserved and some have pigments. According to inscriptions on the propylon, construction of the Isis temple started around the beginning of 1st century CE [1]. According to one theory the temple's construction started…

kinds of bacteria, and protists. The simplified equation is: CO2 + H2O → carbohydrates + O2. (Sadava et al. 2014). It is broken down into two parts: light reaction and light-independent reaction (Campbell et al. 2015). In the light reaction, the pigments including chlorophylls a, chlorophylls b and carotenoids capture the light energy which is mainly visible light (400-700 nm) in the multiprotein complexes called photosystem within thylakoid membrane (Campbell…
