- an average skin (epidermal) cell has a diameter of 30 micrometers. The majority of the surface of the human body is covered by skin cells. The average surface area of an adult male is 1.9 m2 and an adult female is 1.6 m2. Use the information above to calculate the approximate number of skin cells needed to cover the surface of your body (you can assume that you are an average human). Use this formula to determine the area an average skin cell covers: Area = π (radius)2 Plug the radius (1/2 the diameter) of an average skin cell into the equation. area of an average skin cell ____________________ Next, convert your surface area (average male or female) from m2 into mm2 your surface area____________________ Then, divide your surface area by the average area of a skin cell. number of skin cells covering your body ____________________arrow_forwardA person is declared dead upon the irreversible ceasing of spontaneous body functions: brain activity, blood circulation, and respiration.

Further characterization revealed that these particles lack cellular organelles (like the nucleus, mitochondria…). Considering the above circumstance, answer the following questions. (A) What do you think would be the size of the specimen? (B) What do you suspect these particles are most likely to be? (C) Would you define these particles as living?

When ingested with tainted food, Botox can kill by paralyzing muscles needed for breathing and heartbeat. Physicians inject small quantities of diluted Botox into facial muscles to paralyze them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some people have expressed concern about a trend in which people come together for “Botox parties” at hair salons and other nonmedical settings. What are the risks of getting injections in such a setting?arrow_forward
