Mini Homeschool Lesson

For my mini homeschool lesson today I am going to teach you about the different layers that make up your skin. There are three layers. The first layer is the epidermis which is the part of the skin that dies and falls off or is scrubbed off. In your lifetime you will grow approximately 1,000 new skins. The next layer is the dermis which a thick layer of skin that holds the sebaceous gland, the sweat gland, and the hair follicle. The sebaceous gland is where oil for your skin is produced. The sweat gland is where you guessed it, your sweat is produced. The hair follicle is where the hair on your skin is anchored in. The last layer is the subcutaneous fat layer is a layer of fat where excess energy is stored. This layer holds the nerves in your skin and contains loose connective tissue which makes skin flexibe and connects it to the muscles. As you can tell the little piece of your body, skin, is really a complicated piece designed by God.
