Choose one concept in our lesson today, give a brief explanation about the concept and cite how this learning can be applied in your daily life.
The concept that I was most fond of today was the concept of how our skin can protect us from extreme temperatures. Under the skin, the presence of a layer of adipose tissue prevents the skin from losing heat and functions as a cushion for the skin under pressure. In extreme cold, adipose tissue works as an insulator to reduce excessive heat loss. This made me appreciate my skin more and made me realize how much it helped me during the times when I practiced physical or recreational activities in the middle of scorching temperatures. I would apply this learning today by taking care of my skin more and trying not to expose it to extreme temperatures to protect myself and my skin cells.
