Human Skin

Six models in one. The front face compares and contrasts the normal healthy skin from three different body regions; the palm or sole (totally hairless), the axilla or armpit (sparsely endowed with hair), and the scalp, (completely hirsute). The back of the model illustrates the progressive severity of injury caused by burns - from the painful reddening and transitory damage of the first degree burn, to the blistering, often permanent damage of the second degree burn, to the deep charring and permanent tissue destruction of the third degree burn.
