BASIC TIPS FOR YOUR
SKIN CARE!
In this magazine, we are going to talk about the different systems our body is made up and ways to maintain them in good and healthy conditions. The integumentary system consists of the organ systems that compose the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. Skin is not that thick but yet it is our body´s largest organ. Skin acts as a barrier to our body protecting us against physical damage, UV light, pathogens and serves to hold in the water in our body. The skin consists of a 3-­‐layer tissue: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. Tendons, ligaments, and cartilage are an essential part of our skeletal system that helps us move our body around. The main purpose of the bones in our body is to provide us support and shape and also to protect our internal organs from being injured. Our muscles work with the help of our nervous system. The main functions of our muscular system are: excitability, extensibility, contractibility, and elasticity. Most of our body is made up of muscles and they are attached to our bones to help them move.

Be careful on choosing cosmetics: because
sometimes the skin can react to different
chemicals on them. Make sure the
brushes are clean every time you use
them.
Always clean your face before going to
bed and take off the entire make up
whenever you have it.
Make sure to have a dermatologist that
can help you to every problem and can
recommend you some skin products.
FOR BOTH
o
Don't pick your face: If you pick,
squeeze, or pinch blemishes, you
could have scars in your skin. Also
don’t rub or alter pimples.

Make sure you protect your skin
with sunscreen so the UV rays don’t
damage it and leave brown spots of
your skin.

Andreas Vesalius resurrected the practice of human dissection even though the Catholic
Church banned it. He discovered that men and woman had the same amount of ribs cutting
out the corpses and analyzing the inside. It is important now days because specialized doctors
are able to know the skeletal system and the arrangement of the bones inside us.
He wrote a textbook on human anatomy called De Humani Corporis Fabrica. The book
showed all the muscular system in the human body.
Paracelsus was the first man to state that what makes a man ill also
cures him. Thanks to that achievement, medicines exist, he
discovered to use poison to cure some kinds of illness.
He´s also known for discovering ‘laudanum’ which is an alcoholic
herbal preparation. This helps now days as a narcotic painkiller; it
helps people suffer less when they have some sort of illness.
He named the element ZINC in the periodic table, in which he
found al zinc materials are pointer, this helps our society now a days
because ZINC is a very important element because large quantities
of zinc are used to produce die-castings which are important in the
automobile, electrical and hardware industries.
Anton Van Leuwenhoek started as an apprentice in a dry
goods store where magnifying glasses were used to count
the threads in cloth, now he is considered the father of
microscopy, his microscopes change the way people saw
biology, seeing that there were many living things that the
naked eye could not see.
He did not invent the microscope, he only improved it and
by doing that he change how we saw ourselves and the
world that surrounds us.
He was the first person to see single cell microscopic
organisms, he was the one who discovered bacteria,
parasitic microscopic protist, blood cells, sperm cells, egg
cells and blood cells.
