Definitions from American Heritage Dictionary
|
Beauty is only skin deep! The average human body is covered with 20 square feet of skin. This amount of skin weighs about 6 pounds. The skin is composed of two layers. The outer layer is the epidermis and the inner layer is the dermis. The epidermis layer is being replaced continuously. New cells are produced in the stratum basale. These cells mature and are pushed to the surface by the newer cells that are continuously produced. The entire epidermis is replaced about every 27 days. The lower layer of skin, the dermis, contains nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and blood vessels. The upper portion of the dermal layer has small projections called 'papillae.' The papillae extend into the epidermis. The capillaries in the papillae deliver oxygen and nutrients to the epidermis and aid in temperature regulation. Chocolate manufacture started in the American colonies in 1765 at Dorchester, Massachusetts. Here they used beans brought in by New England sea captains from their voyages to the West Indies. James Baker financed the first mill, which was operated by an Irish immigrant, John Hanan. Waterpower was used for grinding the beans. |
Fingerprints
are formed by the visible patterns of the ridges and grooves of the papillae. These ridges
are also visible on the skin of the toes, soles of the feet, and palms. The study of the
skin ridge patterns of these areas is called dermatoglyphics. The patterns are used as a
basis of identification. Francis Galton was the first to classify fingerprints in the late
1800's. His basic ideas were further developed by Sir Edward Henry. In 1901 in England,
Sir Henry established the first fingerprint bureau with Scotland Yard. The patterns also
have some diagnostic value. Certain patterns are associated with chromosomal
abnormalities. Source: The Handy Science Answer Book = Visible Ink
