This year we are doing an awesome study of skin. We did plant/animal cells and right now we are studying skin. The most interesting parts about skin (in my opinion) is that there are 3 layers of skin: the epidermis, dermis and the subcutaneous fat. There are many things that are happening on/under our skin. One of them being that dead cells rise up to the epidermis. You shed 1 million skin cells in 1 second. But you will never run out of cells. You will never run out of cells because your body keeps on producing more cells. Skin is the biggest organ in your body! It literally keeps your body from falling apart.
I like the fun fact about the shedding 1 million skin cells a second.
ReplyDeleteSeth. I think that it's cool that you described how you loose cells. But you also said that you regain cells so as if loosing cells isn't a big deal.
