Structure and function of the dermis in general Structure; deep part of skin; connective tissue composed of two layers function; is responsible for the structural strength and flexibility of the skin; the epidermis exchanges gases nutrients and waste products with blood vessels in the dermis
My new answer: Usain Bolt acheived a top speed of 27.28 mph or 43.90 kph in travellng the 2 fastest consecutive 60-70 & 70-80, 10m splits ever of .82 seconds. We'll leave out 4x100m splits as I don't have them for Team Jamaica's WR from Beijing.
That would mean both reached a speed of roughly 26.5 MPH. Considering that, even the reductions the WR has taken in the last 12 years, it would be okay to assume 27-28 MPH is the fastest speed ever attained by a person running. <br /> <br /> Though Bob Hayes, in 1964, ran his leg of the 4x100m relay in 8.50 seconds.
