About: Skin fold

An Entity of Type: settlement, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Skin folds or skinfolds are areas of skin that are naturally folded. Many skin folds are distinct, heritable anatomical features, and may be used for identification of animal species, while others are non-specific and may be produced either by individual development of an organism or by arbitrary application of force to skin, either by the actions of the muscles of the body or by external force, e.g., gravity. Anatomical folds can also be found in other structures and tissues besides the skin, such as the ileocecal fold beneath the terminal ileum of the cecum.

  • Skin folds or skinfolds are areas of skin that are naturally folded. Many skin folds are distinct, heritable anatomical features, and may be used for identification of animal species, while others are non-specific and may be produced either by individual development of an organism or by arbitrary application of force to skin, either by the actions of the muscles of the body or by external force, e.g., gravity. Anatomical folds can also be found in other structures and tissues besides the skin, such as the ileocecal fold beneath the terminal ileum of the cecum. Skin folds are of interest for cosmetology, as some kinds may be considered aesthetically undesirable, and for medicine, because some of them are susceptible to inflammation and infection. (en)
  • 皮肤皱褶或皮褶是指看上去像被折叠過的皮膚区域。许多皮肤褶皱非常明显並且可遗传，可用于识别动物物种，而其他褶皱是非特异性的，可能是由生物体的个体发育产生的，也可能是由身体肌肉的作用或外部力量（如重力）对皮肤施加力道所产生。褶皱也可以在皮肤以外的其他结构和组织中发现，如盲肠末端回肠下面的。 審美上，某些类型的皮肤皱襞可能會被人嫌棄，而就医学的角度而言，某些皮肤皱襞容易感染炎症。 (zh)
