How thick is skin on the chest Im a male and have keloid scars there and want to get a tattoo but it feels very thin where the bone is closest in the center?
@@cheesebusiness no thanks to their families as well for allowing the body to be donated! Some families will not allow it even though the person is a donor because they take the whole body most times.
I also realize that the skin is thinner on the back of my hands. It makes perfect sense that wrinkles build up where the skin is moving a lot in frequency in some parts of the body. You mentioned eyelids, and I also notice around the edges of the lip and mouth in general wrinkles develop with age and time. The skin is also thinner on top of the feet. Good understanding with real examples. Thank you.
As someone who’s into fitness I love learning how the body works! Thank you! Also can you explain a bit more how bodybuilders get to a such low body fat percentage??
Don't confuse the brain with the spirit. The spirit is the one that makes pictures, thoughts, memories or creations. The brain is the motor control system of the body and the spirit runs it. It is like a car and you the spirit are the driver. There is no evidence that the brain makes memories, none. There are misconceptions and false data about it. It is like saying that your stomach makes memories. If you really want to find out about the mind and how memories are stored, read Dianetics. There it is clearly explained and detailed.
You guys need to do a video on stitches and bruises. Especially on stitches. Sometimes I've had them all day and haven't been able to get rid of them, but it would be interesting to know the anatomy around it. And what layer of the skin a bruise forms
Would be interesting hearing more about the different types of collagen in the body. I know there are a lot of different types, as I have hEDS and have deficiency in some types of collagen, but it would be really interesting to learn more about where the overlap in types of collagen are as well as the differences between different types.
We're currently in the process of making a video on EDS, and it's many, many forms. In order to do do it justice, we're taking just a bit longer than usual to get the video out to the public. Soon!
I also have EDS and a resulting aortic aneurysm from it. Most doctors in ER situations, or family doctors don't recognize the term EDS. I notice younger docs recognize the term more than the older. I was just called double jointed as a child because it was thought to be of no consequence. No genetic testing back then.
Neophoia hEDS gang lol. Whenever they talk about dislocations and subluxations I feel like they’re over reacting, but it’s just because that’s a part of my daily life lol
@@boingomyoingo3474 Totally get get. I have 10+ subluxations everyday. and they are mostly inconveniences because of how used to them I am. I do however get that people have different pain tolerance and thresholds. just only wish they would stop saying that I'm lying when something is dislocated just because I'm not crying.
@@cheriefrench6956 Maybe it’ll be comforting to know nowadays doctors are focusing more on teaching critical thinking and forming connections and as a result EDS was used as the prime example in my anatomy and physiology course to test if we knew our tissue types and could make connections between symptoms that on the surface seemed disconnected. It definitely communicated to me the importance of the small stuff like tissues and other materials and emphasized the interconnectedness of our body’s systems.
I remember learning the anatomy of the skin while training to be a beautician, I remember having to learn the 5 Latin names for the epidermis, My personal favorite was the germinativum layer.. I can't remember how accurate the spelling is, sorry it's been a while.. :P
Speaking of keloid scars: could you do a video describing why/what exactly they are and why they’re different? I have keloids, hypertrophic, and atrophic scarring (former self harmer) and I was wondering why two that are next to each other on similar skin can look different?
this video needs to be shown to companies who make products for all skin colors. they dont understand that u cant make same products for different races. so educative wow!
The worst is the bell ringer exam....glad I aced it way back in the day. Body parts stuck with a pin at a station and you have like 60sec to identify it agd move to the next station. Phew
I was warching a dr.Dray video and I remember her saying that skin on knees, elbows etc is thicker because of friction. She even mentioned a condition called FADES, so I am confused because you said the exact opposite
FADES (Frictional Asymptomatic Darkening of the Extensor Surfaces), is a relatively rare condition, all things considered. While there can be a thickening of the Stratum Papillare (the upper layer of the dermis), the problem usually lies within the epidermis thickening and hardening - not the dermis. When we mention that friction plays a role in how thick the dermis is, it’s more about the movement underneath the tissue, as opposed to the friction produced by traveling over the elbow and knee (like what happens with FADES). Dr. Dray is absolutely correct when she speaks about FADES, and this video is highlighting a separate mechanism behind skin thickening.
@@theanatomylab thank you so much for responding ! I rewatched her video about FADES, and she was indeed talking about dark knees and elbows. She said it looks dark because the skin thickens in those areas , but I now understand that she was talking about the epidermis whereas you guys were talking about the dermis is that right ?
I'd like to ask a question, it may sound crazy, but please educate me. I'm curious why doctors dont use organ donors to transplant a full head of hair scalp to bald man or even women that's losing their hair? I see doctors performing full face transplants here in Cleveland, why dont they preform scalp transplants? Theirs a bunch of men that would pay top dollar for a surgery like this. Thank you both!
I couldn’t find anything on sensory nerves in the skin. do you have a clip on how the sensory nerves distribute throughout the skin? can you refer me to a good source? thank you
the cognitive dissonance between your casual and chill expression and the easygoing music on the back and the fact that you are holding a skin of a dead human gives me shivers 😂
A question: to donate my dead body to universities (or somewhere they can use it for educational/studies purposes) do I have to do something before, like a bureaucracy?
i have a question. what causes motion sickness? i have it but only for certain things and sometimes i get it and sometimes i don’t. idk why lol. thanks :)
From what I know (I'm no doctor or scientist) but it's about your brain receiving mixed messages from your eyes and ears. I can't remember which was round it is but one is telling your brain you are moving and the other tells it you are still so it gets confused. I get it in cars but on boats I'm fine. Odd!
That means your cut wasnt deep enough to bleed, however it did get to the lymphatic system. The oil is lymph which is a fluid that transports white blood cells around the body.
What about the upper forearm skin as we age? As I've aged, my upper forearm skin has become so thin that when I bump it ( or if my dog gives me a paw hug 🐾🐾), my skin just tears, it's painful and scars so. I also heard an absurd bit of info., and that is that eyelid skin is very similar to scrotal skin. Is this true? Eww....🤔😉☺️
I'd love to know how thick the skin on your chin is because when you spend forever trying to grab that tiny tiny hair with the tweezers and you finally get it, suddenly it becomes a mile long and I'm always baffled as to where in my body the root was! In the back of your head?! 😂
wait - are asian and black skins thicker at birth too compared to white skin? we know that melanin protects skin from UV damage, so this has to be measured and compared from infant data
The thickest skin on the human body is under the foot. Those of us who go bare foot, and use Masseur footwear, with skin massage bumps, know that healthy feet have healthy underfoot skin. Underfoot skin is thick, with very great cushioning layers, but can also sense the underfoot environment very seriously. Lived here in Australia (Darwin) as a child, with bush aborigines. Like most true humans, we were born & lived without shoes. Try meeting these true humans. Shoes create sick feet: sweaty, smelly, diseased, easily damaged.
Used to do it at the Body Farm is TN, program that studies different scenarios for decay of the body for forensics, but I believe they closed that program not too long ago
