The epidermis layer provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens and regulates the amount of water released from the body into the atmosphere through transepidermal water loss.]]> 2020-10-15 15:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/832657345 289672 https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/832663408 The dermis is the layer of skin that lies beneath the epidermis and above the subcutaneous layer. It is the thickest layer of the skin, and is made up of fibrous and elastic tissue. Thus it provides strength and flexibility to the skin.]]> 2020-10-15 15:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/832663408 289672 https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/832679407 Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical forces. Photoreceptors detect light during vision. More specific examples of sensory receptors are baroreceptors, Propioceptors, Hygroreceptors, and Osmoreceptors. Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies mediating vision, hearing, taste, touch, and more.

Hair is a protein filament that grows from follicles found in the dermis. Hair is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The human body, apart from areas of glabrous skin, is covered in follicles which produce thick terminal and fine vellus Hair.

Nails correspond to claws found in other animals. Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protective protein called alpha-keratin which is found in the hooves, hair, claws and horns of vertebrates.]]> 2020-10-15 15:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/832769547 289672 https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/835838687 Hair is a derivative of the epidermis and consists of two distinct parts: the follicle and the hair shaft. The follicle is the essential unit for the generation of hair. The hair shaft consists of a cortex and cuticle cells, and a medulla for some types of hairs.]]> 2020-10-16 15:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/289672/62f1beb0doomjm4d/wish/835838687
