 SKIN               
                     
  bz Josjph Wright   
 from London        
            
 Mem No: 122656      
                      
 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.
