Keratinocytes are the skin cells that are causing low turgor.

<h3>What are keratinocytes?</h3>
  • They are protein-rich cells.
  • These cells are responsible for the elasticity of the skin.

Keratinocytes are essential cells for the health and quality of the skin. Without them, the skin loses its strength and natural elasticity, becoming a fragile organ that cannot fulfill its functions.

Skin turgor depends on the quality of these cells and their protein concentrations. If there is a protein deficiency, keratinocytes become flaccid and ineffective in maintaining skin turgor and strength.

What is fear? And why do we have it?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Fear (from a quick Google search): "An unpleasant feeling triggered by the perception of danger, real or imagined."

Simply put, fear keeps us safe (or at least tries to).  It helps keep us on the lookout for things that could be of harm to us.
