7 comments on âOcean Sunfish are the most useless animal (an epic rant)â. 1  Man alive, when are humans going to realize the world wasnât made for them? 2  So what if this animal grows as nothing more than a source of food for others.
The most important hormones affecting the health of skin, hair and nails are estrogen (especially in proportion to testosterone), thyroid hormones and cortisol. Estrogen: Not surprisingly, estrogen levels affect every part of the body, including hair, skin and nails.
Hair is actually a modified type of skin. Hair grows everywhere on the human body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and lips. Hair grows more quickly in summer than winter, and more slowly at night than during the day. Like hair, nails are a type of modified skin. Nails protect the sensitive tips of fingers and toes. Human nails aren't necessary for living, but they do provide support for the tips of the fingers and toes, protect them from injury, and aid in picking up small objects.
