    I also realize that the skin is thinner on the back of my hands. It makes perfect sense that wrinkles build up where the skin is moving a lot in frequency in some parts of the body. You mentioned eyelids, and I also notice around the edges of the lip and mouth in general wrinkles develop with age and time. The skin is also thinner on top of the feet. Good understanding with real examples. Thank you.

It is like a car and you the spirit are the driver. There is no evidence that the brain makes memories, none. There are misconceptions and false data about it. It is like saying that your stomach makes memories. If you really want to find out about the mind and how memories are stored, read Dianetics. There it is clearly explained and detailed.

      Maybe it’ll be comforting to know nowadays doctors are focusing more on teaching critical thinking and forming connections and as a result EDS was used as the prime example in my anatomy and physiology course to test if we knew our tissue types and could make connections between symptoms that on the surface seemed disconnected. It definitely communicated to me the importance of the small stuff like tissues and other materials and emphasized the interconnectedness of our body’s systems.

    I was warching a dr.Dray video and I remember her saying that skin on knees, elbows etc is thicker because of friction. She even mentioned a condition called FADES, so I am confused because you said the exact opposite

    • @theanatomylab
      @theanatomylab  4 роки тому +4

      FADES (Frictional Asymptomatic Darkening of the Extensor Surfaces), is a relatively rare condition, all things considered. While there can be a thickening of the Stratum Papillare (the upper layer of the dermis), the problem usually lies within the epidermis thickening and hardening - not the dermis. When we mention that friction plays a role in how thick the dermis is, it’s more about the movement underneath the tissue, as opposed to the friction produced by traveling over the elbow and knee (like what happens with FADES). Dr. Dray is absolutely correct when she speaks about FADES, and this video is highlighting a separate mechanism behind skin thickening.

    The thickest skin on the human body is under the foot. Those of us who go bare foot, and use Masseur footwear, with skin massage bumps, know that healthy feet have healthy underfoot skin.
    Underfoot skin is thick, with very great cushioning layers, but can also sense the underfoot environment very seriously. Lived here in Australia (Darwin) as a child, with bush aborigines. Like most true humans, we were born & lived without shoes. Try meeting these true humans. Shoes create sick feet: sweaty, smelly, diseased, easily damaged.

    Is it possible to donate your body, but not be embalmed?

      I don't think your body will decompose unless your body can be cooled

      Used to do it at the Body Farm is TN, program that studies different scenarios for decay of the body for forensics, but I believe they closed that program not too long ago

      sure. people do surgery education and research with bodies that are “fresh” and not preserved.
