Dermatology

Dermatology is the study of the integumentary system. This system is often referred to as the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and in its functions, there resides a fitting responsibility as the largest organ. The skin of the body serves as a component purposed with protection, immunity, framing, and a number of functions that aid in maintaining homeostasis. It is composed of layers dubbed as the epidermis and dermis. The epidermis is located along the outer regions of the body, and the dermis composes the layer underneath the epidermis. Hair follicles, sweat glands, and a porous structure all follow alongside one another in a manner that places their capacity in a light telling clearly of what the skin is tasked with in part.

When placing this idea under the lens of applied philosophy, the integumentary system finds its folds in the way of representing a natural understanding of protection. It is a job composed of many facets, and what is often spoken in this knowledge is the call to serve prepare, protect, and prevent any misgiving which would otherwise serve as an impediment when taken out of context or ‘doctored’ with conditions and changes that result in a less palatable outcome. As an example, ‘wisdom’ serves as a shorthand supposition of the above, in that it sometimes imparts knowledges giving of protection. As a continuation, one who possesses wisdom is one who possesses a ‘wise dome’, or, in an expression translated for increased formality, an ‘intelligent person’. They would be an ‘egg – head’ of sorts, but the connotations surrounding ‘egg heads’ are typically giving of persons capable of deep cerebral capacity with the drawback of meticulous fragility. Those who share and steep themselves in wisdom are sometimes subject to the above, but they may not always carry the same feeling, or, again, connotation, of fragility, given the enumerable spectrums that categorize and orchestrate the sharing of wisdom and its subsequent capacity of crafting an inclusivity giving of openness.
