ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY LEVEL 2 BEAUTY REVISION PACK


THE 5 Layers of the Epidermis with function of each one in simple words

Stratum Corneum.
-​ This is the most protective outer layer of the skin, which protects our skin and body
from bacteria, pathogens and chemicals.
-​ Also known as the Horny Layer.

Stratum Lucideum
-​ This is the second layer and is only found on palms of hands and soles of the feet.
-​ Function: A very thin layer that is used to help with friction.

Stratum Granulosum
-​ The cells lose their nuclei and cells flatten, leading to the process of keritinisation.
-​ This process is needed to prevent any fluid loss, which creates a waterproof barrier.

Stratum Spinosom
-​ There are keratinocytes that are made in the basal layer that are here in this part of
the epidermis. This strenahthens the skin making it tighter using cells like
desmosomes.
-​ There is also something called Langerhans cells, which are in the immune system to
prevent it from pathogens.

Stratum Basal Layer.
-​ This is the layer of the cells that is the deepest.
-​ Meant to be there for mitosis to provide new cells.

THE BONES OF THE FOREARM:

The forearm has a large group of muscles designed to control the wrist and fingers
with movement.

Radius: This is the lateral side where the raise lies, which is on our pinky side.
-​ The job of this is to help you rotate your hand when turning your hand.


Ulna: This is where the medial bone is on the pinky side.
-​ This part helps with stability. It helps to bend and straighten your arm without any
dislocation.


LOWER LEG BONES:

Tibia: This is the shin bone. It supports most of our body’s weight and and he,so with
lifting your foot.
