  1. An Inch of Skin!

  2. What do you think you’d find in one square inch of human skin? Write down a list of all the things that you think you might find. Think small. Very, very small.

  3. How many hairs? How many cells? How many sweat glands? How many oil glands? How many blood vessels? How many nerves? How many nerve endings? How many heat sensors? How many cold sensors? How many pain sensors How many touch sensors? How many bacteria? 78 yards (70 meters) 650 9,500,000 160-165 19,500 13 19 yards (17 meters) 32,000,000 78 1,300 65 95-100 In each square inch of human skin:(These are out of order. Try to guess at some of them!)
