Skin performs the following functions:

1. Protection: an anatomical barrier from pathogens and damage between the internal and external
environment in bodily defense;Langerhans cells in the skin are part of the adaptive immune system.
2. Sensation: contains a variety of nerve endings that react to heat and cold, touch, pressure, vibration,
and tissue injury; seesomatosensory system and haptics.
3. Heat regulation: the skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise
control of energy loss by radiation, convection and conduction. Dilated blood vessels increase
perfusion and heatloss, while constricted vessels greatly reduce cutaneous blood flow and conserve
heat.
4. Control of evaporation: the skin provides a relatively dry and semi-impermeable barrier to fluid
loss. Loss of this function contributes to the massive fluid loss in burns.
5. Aesthetics and communication: others see our skin and can assess our mood, physical state and
attractiveness.
6. Storage and synthesis: acts as a storage center for lipids and water, as well as a means of synthesis
of vitamin D by action of UV on certain parts of the skin.
7. Excretion: sweat contains urea, however its concentration is 1/130th that of urine, hence excretion by
sweating is at most a secondary function to temperature regulation.
8. Absorption: In addition, medicine can be administered through the skin, by ointments or by means of
adhesive patch, such as thenicotine patch or iontophoresis. The skin is an important site of transport in
many other organisms.
9. Water resistance: The skin acts as a water resistant barrier so essential nutrients aren't washed out of
the body.

Why is melanin important ?

-Melanin also acts as a sunscreen and protects the skin from ultraviolet light.

-Melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes. It provides some protection again skin damage from the sun,
and the melanocytes increase their production of melanin in response to sun exposure. Freckles, which occur in
people of all races, are small, concentrated areas of increased melanin production.
Economics ay naglalayong ipaliwanag kung paano ang ekonomiya sa trabaho at kung paano ang pang-
ekonomiyang mga ahente ay nakikipag-ugnayan. Economic pagtatasa ay inilapat sa buong lipunan, sa negosyo,
pinansya at pamahalaan, kundi pati na rin sa krimen, pag-aaral, ang pamilya, kalusugan, batas, pulitika,
relihiyon,panlipunan institusyon, digmaan,at science. Ang pagpapalawak ng domain ng ekonomiya sa agham
panlipunan ay inilarawan bilang pang-ekonomiya imperyalismo. Karaniwang mga distinctions ay inilabas sa
pagitan ng iba't-ibang mga sukat ng ekonomiya: sa pagitan ng positibong ekonomiya (naglalarawan ng "kung
ano ang") at normatibo ekonomiya (advocating "kung ano ang nararapat na maging") o pang-ekonomiya sa
pagitan ng teorya at inilalapat ekonomiya o sa pagitan ng prinsipal na agos ekonomiya (more "kinikilala"
pakikitungo sa mga "pagkamaykatwiran-kanya-punto ng balanse koneksyon") at heterodoks ekonomiya (mas
"radikal" pakikitungo sa mga "institusyon -kasaysayan-panlipunang istraktura ng koneksyon ")Subalit ang
pangunahing pagkakaiba aklat-aralin ay sa pagitan ng microeconomics ("maliit" ekonomiya), na examines ang
pang-ekonomiyang pag-uugali ng mga ahente (kabilang ang mga indibidwal at kumpanya) at macroeconomics
("malaking" ekonomiya), addressing mga isyu ng pagkawala ng trabaho, pagpintog, pera at piskal na patakaran
para sa isang buong ekonomiya. 

ENERGY:

-The ability to do work and ar transfer heat.

-In physics, energy (from the Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active,

working") is a quantity that can be assigned to every particle, object, and system of objects as a consequence of
the state of that particle, object or system of objects. Different forms of energy
include kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational,sound, elastic, light, and electromagnetic energy. The forms of
energy are often named after a related force. German physicist Hermann von Helmholtzestablished that all
forms of energy are equivalent - energy in one form can disappear but the same amount of energy will appear in
another form

Types of Enegry:

Heat Energy:

where motion or rise in temperature is caused by heat like a fire in your fireplace.

Electrical Energy:

is when motion, light or heat is produced by an electrical current like the electric coils on your stove.

Mechanical Energy:

is the energy of motion that does the work like the wind turns a windmill.

Chemical Energy:

is the chemical reaction causing changes; food and fuel both store chemical energy.

Gravitational Energy:

where motion, like water going over a dam, is caused by gravity's pull.
