- The thumb nail grows the slowest of all fingernails, the middle finger grows the fastest.
- The technical name for the nail is the "onyx."
- Hangnails are also known as agnails and are caused by a disorder called onychocryptosis.
- Skin is considered to be the largest organ in the human body.
- Dark skin is a better barrier to damaging sun rays, (sucks for me).
- The technical name for freckles is lentigines.
So, me and my face full of lentigines are looking forward to learning about hair this week. Yippee!
