1. Stratum Corneum- 20-30 Dead, Horny layers.
2. Stratum Lucidum- Only in palms/heels layers of skin.
3. Stratum Granulosum
4. Stratum Spinosum- Most layers; Location of Keratinocytes.
5. Stratum Basale- Actively mitotic stem cells; as cells age, they become part of superficial layers.

From there it goes through our bloodstream to our liver and kidneys where it then becomes activated (aka Calcitriol) which it then is circulated to all the bones in our body.]]> 2016-09-08 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/anshan_rivera/strm306vb10r/wish/122577372 anshan_rivera https://padlet.com/anshan_rivera/strm306vb10r/wish/122582006 I believe so, in an article I was reading, it says that it all depends on where you live in the world. If you live more towards the equator, you are known to have a darker complexion. People who live more towards the poles are known to have lighter skin tones. The more UV light you get, the more melanin is produced to protect the skin. The further away you are from UV light (poles) the less melanin is produced.]]> 2016-09-08 19:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/anshan_rivera/strm306vb10r/wish/122582006 cghisted https://padlet.com/anshan_rivera/strm306vb10r/wish/122623881 Where solar radiation is more intense (Equator), higher concentration of deep color Melanin became an advantage for the production it provided.
However, Where solar radiation is weaker (N/S Poles), lower concentrations of Melanin allowed people to collect what sunlight was available to manufacture Vitamin D.

Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of skin color, But the less sunscreen used to work alongside Melanin, the higher the chance of getting skin cancer, there is.
