Experiment: Investigating the integumentary system.

Introduction
Scientifically, the integumentary system consists of the skin and its appendages. It functions primarily as an outer protection for internal organs from bacteria. Superficially, the skin serves as a buffer to trauma. Its integrity decreases incidences of invasion by harmful organisms even when breakage occurs. (Martini 2009).
Beside these basic functions, the integumentary system is also responsible for insulation by assisting in regulating body temperature; production of hair; excretion of waste through pores and a sensory station for the transmission of impulses when touched. Sensory receptors present within the subcutaneous layers are also pain transmitters. (Watson 2011)

Women in art have always been a very mysterious and intriguing object to observe, both from the perspective of women as an object and a subject for the painting. Mona Lisa is possibly the most recognized painting in the world. She still puzzles its every observer with her gaze and feeble smile, welcoming him to silent communication. Frida Kahlo is the world’s most recognized woman artist. However, she neither invites for silent conversation in her Self-Portrait with Cropped Hair, nor does she puzzle the observer. What Frida does, is pictures her soul openly and frankly, not hiding anything, Continue reading...

Cartoons seem innocent in their attempt to make children laugh. In many cases they also seek to teach a lesson. The lesson can be something as simple as the importance of sharing or being honest. It can also teach something serious like looking both ways before crossing the street. The less obvious lessons are more subtle and often more lasting in the psyche of the juvenile audience. It happens more often when the cartoons characters are human beings instead of animals or puppets. Human cartoon characters cause children of all ages to absorb significant details about race, gender and Continue reading...

Some small businesses didn’t always have to compete against giant corporations. At one time, they were the main hub for products in town.
