Interfaces in Object Oriented Programming Languages. An interface is a programming structure/syntax that allows the computer to enforce certain properties on an object (class). For example, say we have a car class and a scooter class and a truck class. Each of these three classes should have a start_engine() action.
The epidermis is the very outer layer of the skin that provides protection from bacteria (thanks to it's pH level), becoming overloaded with water (it's waterproof) and from heat loss. It has four of five distinct layers to achieve this.
Epidermis, epi coming from the Greek meaning over or upon, is the outermost layer of the skin. It forms the waterproof, protective wrap over the body's surface which also serves as a barrier to infection and is made up of stratified squamous epithelium with an underlying basal lamina.
