Scientific phenomenon
The blue whale is not only the biggest whale living today; the blue whale is the biggest creature
ever to have lived on Earth. They are mind-bogglingly gigantic; much larger than any of the
dinosaurs. Blue whales and the other ocean giants live their whole lives in seawater. Description
Blue whales commonly reach the colossal length of 29m, that’s roughly as long as three London
red double-decker buses parked end to end. Blue whales in the Southern Hemisphere are
generally larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere and female blues are larger than males.
The longest blue whale on record is a female measured at a South Georgia whaling station in the
South Atlantic (1909); she was 33.58m. The heaviest blue whale was also a female hunted in the
Southern Ocean, Antarctica, on 20 March 1947. She tipped the scales at 190 tonnes which is
equivalent to about 30 elephants or 2500 people.
Blue whales are now extremely rare due to uncontrolled commercial whaling. Some populations
could be endangered to the point of extinction.
SKIN
Skin is the outer layer of the body. In human being, it is the largest organ of the system
that covers our body. Our skin has a function to protect our body from infection and
extreme temperatures, maintain fluid balance, and synthesize vitamin D for our personal
needs.
Skin has three main layers, which are Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis that have their
respective tasks and need each other. The Epidermis layer is the outermost layer of the
skin. This layer does not contain blood vessels, and is formed from Merkel cells,
keratinocytes, with melanocytes and Langerhans cells. Under the Epidermis layer, there is
Dermis layer. This layer contains hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine
glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. This layer is connected to the Epidermis layer
with the basement membrane. Structurally, this layer is divided into two regions, which are
the region next to the epidermis called the Papillary region, and the thick inner region that
is known as the Reticular region.
