=Introduction= toc

I will be coming at you with facts skin cells and how they function and how they will protect your body from any harming things like especially the sun.

=What are skin cells=

Skin cells are the cells that protect your skin from the sun or any harming things that will hurt the skin. Another layer of the skin is the epidermis. The epidermis serves as a barrier to protect the body against microbial pathogens. The way that the epidermis protects its dead cells that carry bacteria away from the body.People wonder if the epidermis is valuable dead or alive? Well the epidermis is actually more valuable dead than because most of the protection is provided by when the dead cells go to the surface of the epidermis

=Different layers of skin cells=

The functions of the skin cell first the skin cell will protect you. Then the nerve endings that are in your skin will help you sense the world around you. The skin layers is first the basement membrane which separates the epidermis from the lower layer of the skin. Then the next layer is the dermis, the dermis is composed of proteins, like collagen and elastin, which support the skin and make it strong and flexible. Finally the hypodermis, which is largely made of fat for insulation and support of the upper layers.

=The functions of the skin cell=

The skin cell functions off of the other skin cells and the epidermis. The epidermis helps the skin cells from macrobolic pathogens and uv light. The epidermis functions from the dead epidermis cells that go to the first layer of the epidermis and carry away bacteria and other substances that settle in the skin. For example also every time you rub your hands together, you lose thousands of dead skin cells and any bacteria on them that have been there for a long or short period of time.

=How your skin heals=

If you didn’t know the largest organ in your body is actually your skin. If you get wounded the first stage of your skin trying to be repared is Hemostasis which is the skins response that your losing blood and that the physical barrier of the epidermis is now compromised, the next stage is vasoconstriction is the process where the blood vessels tighten and form a blood clog, after three hours after that the skin starts to turn red signaling the next stage which is, inflimation which sends special cells to fight off any bacteria that might of got in your body. Then comes phagocytosis send in macrofages which devoure bacteria and dameged tissue, then the previously constricted blood vessles expand in a process called vasodilation

=Sun and skin cancer=

The skin cell can only protect you from the skin for a repeated amount of times. This is because the more the skin is exposed to the sun the more it will damage the skin cell. This may also lead to skin cancer.
