| | For example, liquid-nitrogen therapy for skin cancer is much less effective in the region around the corner of the nose than it is on the forearm. | | | Dermatopathologists and dermatologists mostly concentrate on skin and may be better trained in reading skin-tissue specimens from reading the most recent literature specific to their field, the skin. | | | Another example would be the use of x-radiation or other radiation to destroy a skin cancer, such as a cancer growing into the ear of an 85-year-old patient, in whom major reconstructive surgery could cause a problem with bleeding, stress or heart disease. |

| | Skin (Integumentary) System Information |
| | Albinism is a condition where skin does not produce melanin. | | | Variety of skin color is caused mainly by the number and distribution of melanocytes. | | | Exposure to sunlight causes the skin to produce more melanin, causing suntan, a temporary change in skin color. |

| | Introduction to Skin Cancer |
| | The most common sign of skin cancer is a change on the skin, such as a growth or a sore that won't heal. | | | Skin cancer is more common in people with light colored skin who have spent a lot of time in the sunlight. | | | Not ail changes in your skin are cancer, but you should see your doctor if you notice changes in your skin. |

| | The skin is the largest organ of the body. | | | The skin is richly innervated, served by a variety of sensory nerve endings which respond to a variety of modalities (e.g., pressure, vibration, heat, cold, itch, pain) and by motor nerve endings which control blood flow, sweat secretion, and piloerection. | | | The skin is readily accessible for examination (no invasive procedures needed), and its color and texture can reveal much about underlying physiology. |

| | They are not present in the skins of unborn babies but rapidly develop after birth, and are very noticeable in a young person's skin when it is examined under the microscope. | | | The subcutaneous fat lies on the muscles and bones, to which the whole skin structure is attached by connective tissues. | | | If the blood carries plenty of oxygen it will be pink and the skin will tend to have a rosy color. |

| | The skin is the heaviest of the body's organs and in an average adult weighs about 4 to 7kg (9 to 15lb). | | | The elasticity of skin restores the shape when joints are used during movement. | | | This makes the skin unsuitable for the growth of many micro-organisms. |

| | Superficial ulceration, sharply demarcated, with fibrinonecrotic adherent crust; hyperplastic epidermis at the edge of ulcer; neutrophilic response restricted to area beneath ulcer; follicular infundibula may be involved. | | | Histopathologic evaluation of primary vesicles or pustules is, however, of critical importance since pathognomonic changes can often not be seen in secondary ulcerative lesions. | | | In recent years it has, however, become obvious that it represents a dynamic structure that actively participates in the reactivity of the skin to injury. |

| | Although the epidermis has no blood vessels, its deeper strata contain melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin. | | | In humans and other mammals, the skin operates a complex organ of numerous structures (sometimes called the integumentary system) serving vital protective and metabolic functions. | | | Scar tissue lacks the infection-resisting and metabolic functions of healthy skin; hence, sufficiently extensive skin loss by widespread burns or wounds may cause death. |
