...Unit 303, Outcome 2, Skin & Hair The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Skin has three layers: * The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. * The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. * The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue. The skin’s colour is created by special cells called melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin. Melanocytes are located in the epidermis. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/picture-of-the-skin Functions of the Skin The main functions of the skin include: * Protection of the human body * Sensation i.e. transmitting to the brain information about surroundings * Temperature regulation * Immunity i.e. the role of the skin within the immune system * Enables movement and growth without injury * Excretion from the body of certain types of waste materials * Endocrine function e.g. re.

...University of Santo Tomas College of Science Isolation of Microorganisms from Environmental Samples Experiment 6 (Group 6) JALIPA, Jomari T. JAVIER, Rhea A. JIMENEZ, Ma. Mikaela P. JURILLA, Joaquim Gerardo L. March 2016 ABSTRACT The exercise aims to enumerate the various microbial species that are present in a particular environment by collecting different substances such as pond water and soil that will be the source of microorganisms to be isolated and identified. Moreover, this exercise also aims to isolate microorganisms from the environment. This will be done by exposing half-strength Nutrient Agar plates to a specific site the experimenters chose. After which, the Agar plate will be incubated and the colonies formed were observed in the laboratory. INTRODUCTION There are approximately 10,000 named species of microorganisms. It is estimated that there are between 10,000 and 100,000 more unidentified species for every identified one (Truckee Meadows Community College, n.d.). Upon appearance, these microbes have evolved, diversified and virtually occupied every habitat possible on earth; from extreme environments to the corners of our nails, or from the deepest parts of the ocean to the tip of the high mountains. The ubiquity of these microorganisms causes them to populate in natural environments whether suspended in air, in water or associated with other organisms (ie: humans). Different surfaces whether inside or outside...
