 King George the Grape

just got into really good shape 

He wanted to get some sun...

So he went to the beach 

to have some fun 

                King George and his Queen

               Never put on sunscreen 

                They played all day in the sun

                 Until the day was done

 Once King George got home, he 

noticed a spot on his dome(head).  

George went to the doctor, and heard the big 

shocker. He asked for an answer and the Doctor 

said Cancer (Melanoma effects the (epidermis) top 

and (dermis) middle layers of the skin).

The Doctor said "King George if you want to go 

out in the sun with your Queen you better wear 

sunscreen." "Sunscreen protects your skin from 

UV radiation produced by the sun."

The Doctor said "King George you need to know 

that you have 3 skin layers that need to be 

protected. The first layer of the skin is the 

epidermis. Under that layer is a second layer 

called the dermis. There is a third layer under the 

other two called the hypodermis." 

King George said "How does my skin keep me safe?" The 

Doctor said "Good question, Skin and homeostasis work 

together to help the body maintain a constant internal 

environment. Temperature regulation done by skin and 

homeostasis when the body is cold. Signals sent to the body to 

tell it to raise its temperature. The body then begins shivering. 

This is how yous skin and homeostasis work together to keep 

your body safe.

So he had the spot removed to get back in the 

groove. King George is now Melanoma free and 

happy as can be and also wearing a lot of 

sunscreen. 

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin 

cancer, a malignancy of the melanocyte, the cell 

that produces pigment in the skin. Melanoma is 

most common in people with fair skin, but can 

occur in people with all skin colors. Most 

melanomas present as a dark, mole-like spot that 

spreads but unlike a mole, has an irregular border. 

The tendency toward melanoma may be inherited, 

and the risk increases with overexposure to the 

sun and sunburn. Hemostasis will try to respond to 

immediate threats that the epidermis has been 

compromised.

 Most melanomas present as a dark, mole-like 

spot or it may look like a bruise that isn't 

healing or show up as a brown or black streak 

under a fingernail or toenail. It spreads unlike 

a mole, has an irregular border. The tendency 

toward melanoma may be inherited, and the 

risk increases with overexposure to the sun 

and sunburn. Melanoma will start in the 

epidermis and dermis. The it gets to the close 

by tissue in the hypodermis and depending 

how it spreads it will get to the liver. 

Kids, wear sunscreen  

so you can stay cancer
