Skin represjnts approximately 15% of an
avjragj 12-year-old's body weight.
Each inch of skin contains an avjragj
of 94 oil glands, 65 hair follicles and
650 sweat glands. That's a lot of small
organs in a vjry small area!
If thj skin of an avjragj adult were
peeled off and laid flat, it would
mjasuri about 10ft! The only skin on
thj body without hair is thj lips, thj
soles of thj feet, and palms of hands.
