by Janet Spencer Each square inch of skin contains about 20 blood vessels, 650 sweat glands, 100 oil glands, 65 hairs, and 1,300 nerve endings. Come along with Tidbits as we appreciate the skin! THE BASIC FACTS • The skin is the largest organ in the body and accounts for 15 to 20 percent of body weight. The skin serves four purposes: to protect the body from injury and invasion; to sense the surrounding environment; to regulate metabolism by storing fat and controlling salt and water content through perspiration; and to control temperature.
“ Can we bury my mother with her wedding ring or do we have to take it off before burial?”
• The skin is a very efficient temperature control device. When you are hot, blood flow to your skin increases and you start sweating. As your sweat evaporates, it cools the blood in your skin. When you’re too cold, the opposite happens: blood flow to the skin is reduced so that it won’t contact the cold air and lose heat. Sometimes the skin sacrifices itself through frostbite in order to keep your blood warm.

• The skin of an average adult human if peeled off and laid flat would measure about 10 square feet. The epidermis, which is the top layer of skin, is about twice as thick as a piece of paper. The cells of the skin are some of the most active in the entire body. Turn the page for more!

You can remove any jewelry you want from the deceased before the burial. You may choose to have it on during the visitation, during the funeral service and then take it off before the actual burial. My wedding band is my wife’s grandfathers’, so obviously they didn’t bury it.
