=Intro= toc Skin cells why are they important. Your skin is the biggest organ apart of your body you need your skin because it protects the organs in your body the skin cell can stretch to many limits because of what it is made of its structure is very strong it can stretch to very far lengths it always bounces back thats because of elastin and collagen without those to your skin would be all droopy and saggy. Skin holds your body together without your skin your organs would be all over the place. Have u ever wondered why your skin is the color it is its because of your epidermis your epidermis produces something called melanin the melanin your skin produces the darker your skin.To learn more you have to finish this article.

=Chapter one.=

Epidermis what it does, and layers of skin.Each topic has a part in what is so special about skin cells. the main parts of skin and why is it so important. Also what are the skins limits like what can and cannot take because like all things skin has a limit. this article is teaching you that your skin is something that is very important this i hope this article answers the questions that u have.

Elastin is almost like a rubber band it stretches and stretches and always comes back to it full size unless if your skin stretches until it reaches its full size it won’t bounce back it will stay that size and your skin will be loose the epidermis produces melanin ( melanin is what gives skin its own different tone the epidermis is very important its what keeps all of our skin cells together and the epidermis keeps its own cycle the new cells are at the bottom of the dermis and the mature cells are in the middle and the dead skin cells are on top of the epidermis to protect it.

=Chapter 2=

How long can a skin cell survive? a skin cell can survive 1 to 2 weeks each skin cell is separated into 3 categories the new ones that are being created, the live mature skin cells, and the dead skin cells that protect the mature and new skin cells. A skin cell dies easily from a suns rays the term skin burn and when your skin is peeling those are dead skin cells that have been burned to the point where they peel off easily Skin cells the biggest cell on the body. Because the skin cell is all over the body millions of skin cells die every second.

That means the skin cell is going through a cycle the cycle is the new cells stay in the dermis the mature cells stay in the heart of the epidermis once they get old they die and become dust but because only the dead skin cells shed off the body the live cells cells only fall of if you damage your skin like by sunburn which a sun creates uv rays. You may think your skin is delicate but your skin is actually really strong. A skin cell usually stays healthy unless exposed to uv ray lights there about 487,000 dead skin cells are in a cm2. It is very important that you keep your skin healthy by using sunscreen and lotioning to keep your skin moisturized

=chapter 3=

Dead skin cells what they do? dead skin cells are the protection of the skin every cell that dies is pushed to the top and they protect the new cell that are just coming in. Next dead skin cells fall off every day every day every minute that is their job.Think of a human without dead skin, i know you may think that dead skin cells are not important but they are very important the are like a phone case a hard shell on the inside and a soft layer on the out side.

Skin cells only die so new skin cells can take their place then the new skin cells become a soft layer around the new skin cells that have taken their place. it is very important not to damage your new skin because if a certain layer of skin is exposed then if you go out in the sun and get sunburn or worse skin cancer. Skin cancer is caused when the suns uv rays damage a lot of your skin.

=Chapter 4=

Layers of skin. The epidermis and the dermis also the subcutis fat are the three main parts of the layers of skin the epidermis holds all the dead skin cells the dermis holds the new cells that have been just created and also holds hair follicles. The dermis is very important because it keeps the cell cycle moving without the dermis we would have weaker skin cells to cover our body.The dermis is so important because it is one of layer layers that separate the new cells and the mature cells the mature cells are held in the epidermis.

The next layer is fat underneath the dermis there is fat this fat is what gives us the meat on our bones if we didn't have this fat we would be skeletons with skin on our bones. All these layers are what keep the cycle of skin cell moving and if u hadn't noticed skin is very important to humans its what keeps us from making our hearts and organs spill out. The fat is where elastin and collagen are and elastin and collagen is what makes our skin durable too many things. all of the layers are apart of the skin cell cycle.

=Chapter 5=

skin structure. Elastin and collagen are the two substances in your skin that keep it together they are very important. Elastin and collagen are the things that allow your skin to do the things they can do. If you listen carefully you will realize that elastin sounds a lot like elastic and what do elastics do stretch that is a key word for the word elastin elastin allows your to stretch. without elastin your skin wouldn't be able to stretch and as you go in length and with your skin will just pop and your skin would just tear in half.

Collagen what does it do. Collagen lets your skin keep its body structure as it expands. Collagen is the strength in your skin because it makes your skin bounce back to its original figure. Collagen and Elastin work great together because they both do positive things. Elastin lets your skin stretch and Collagen gives your skin the strength the both benefit your skin by letting it grow and become stronger.

You have learned why dead skin cells are important, we have learned what gives skin it structure, we have also learned how long can a skin cell live, what the epidermis does, layers of skin, this is why skin is so important
