His consecutive starts streak is also the longest all-time for a non-special teams player.
The top layer of skin is called the epidermis, the second layer is the dermis, and the third layer is the hypodermis. The skin is the body's largest organ, and it offers the first line of protection against bacteria and other harmful substances. Continue Reading.
The skin has two layers: the upper layer is the epidermis, and the lower layer is the dermis. Below the dermis is the hypodermis, or subcutaneous layer, composed of fat or other connective tissue . The epidermis itself is an epithelium made up of sublayers. The outermost portion consists of many layers of flat, dead, dry epithelial cells called keratinocytes. Clearly this barrier of dead cells needs no blood supply. The waxy surface coating of these cells allows the skin to be waterproof and dry. In effect, the body surrounds itself with a hostile desert where few germs can live. Living keratinocytes in the deepest layer of the epidermis undergo rapid cell division and push the overlying cells toward the surface. Melanocytes are also deep and produce the dark pigment in the skin, melanin. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, melanin production is increased, a process called tanning.
