Skin- A Personal Physiology

The very culmination of the physiological fronts. A mere three layered entity, posing as the sole basis for a cultural and social icon. The marriage of a biological manifestation with the twin realities of beauty and elegance. While bound by an essence, overlooked and disregarded by that of its possessors, much has arisen  in the realm of form and function. Allowing much room for an intrinsic approach rather than the dogmatic conventions of the literature. Ordaining the very attainability and accessibility that comes with its ubiquitous and abundant being. Skin remains an ever perennial physiology. One of personal proportions, as the largest of the anatomical giants makes a profound impression upon the physiological processes that sustain the very psyche and harbour its nucleus. Skin is ever copious, a representation of the biological possibilites that arise simply from a three layered entity. The dexterity to register sensation, retain moisture; the capacity to protect and regulate. Such profound functions pertain to the skins indispensability, the junction between the inner and the outer, a shroud of physiological significance and intrinsic value. For when one gazes analytically at the myriad of tissue that constitute to its form, the very prospect of the function instantly boils deep within the electro-chemical processes of the mind. Giving rise to a sensuous perception of the psyche, as a tangible and accesible reality. The psyche remains the true self, the being; the skin allows the junction between that psyche and the organism that continues to harbor it. A form of recognition, a thought provoking stimuli, unsurpassed and almost spontaneous in nature. Moreover, the more personal dimension of the sphere reveals a more intimate, fidel and personal correlation. A relationship with that of anatomical form and physiological function that builds and consolidates the sensation of 'individuality'. An external reality, rather than an alien and foreign internal happening. For from the very extremity of the epidermis to deep within the ravines of the subcutaneous tissue, skin continues to emulate an unparalleled stance. A postion of preeminence, attributed predominantly to the protection, regulation and registering that falls under its roster of laborious toil. Anatomically, the significance of skin is its foundation of a realm entirely difficult to conceive and envision. One abundant in fatty deposits and neural connections. Profuse in layer upon layer upon layer. Ample with familiar pores that give rise to some of the coarsest to much of the finest hairs. There remains an evident line of malfunction therein. A myriad, a stream of disorder that threatens the physiological processes it consolidates and the anatomical structure behind its intricacy and elegance. The symbolic and definitive beauty, an entity we yearn to perfect, with a combination of the precise complexion and proportion. Skin remains an overlooked reality. An overlooking perpetuated by our wonder with the neuronal interconnections and the cardiological fronts, an impersonal appeal for the very bases of the body. So in turn it becomes paramount, of the highest importance and cruciality to place a substatial degree of personal appeal and regard to that of the skin as a physiological entity of proportions surpassing that of the dogmatic, impersonal approaches...
