TIDBITS® LOOKS AT

SKIN & BONES

Mrs.

by Kathy Wolfe

“Give the Gift of Warmth” Ultra Comfy Socks

“Why, you’re just skin and bones!” you may have heard it said. While the human body is lots more than skin and bones, these two things account for a very large part. Follow along as Tidbits explores what holds us together. • “I’ve got you under my skin,” goes the old song. The skin is the largest of all the organs in the body, and makes up about 15% of the body’s weight. On the average adult body, it weighs about 6 lbs., with an area of about 20 square feet. The average individual has about 300 million skin cells. There are about 11 miles of blood vessels in the body’s skin. • One square inch contains about 19 million cells, 90 oil glands, 65 hairs, and 625 sweat glands. There are 19 feet of blood vessels and over 19,000 sensory cells in that square inch. Those sensory cells can detect an object as small as 1/100th of a millimeter. • The skin is made up of three layers – the epidermis, which is the outer layer, the middle layer called the dermis, and the deepest layer called the subcutis. The epidermis is thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, about 1.5 millimeter thick. The subcutis contains blood vessels, hair follicle roots, and nerves. Turn the page for more!
