Answer / saron

This is the outer cover of the body consisting of three
layers.The epidermis dermis and the hypodermis.the outer
layer is made up of dead cells and consists of pores
allowing sweat and the hair to penetrate through.while the
dermis includes the hair gland,the receptors,sweat gland and
the oil gland.the last part that is the hypodermis consists
of fat preventing heat loss.

penetrating into the body.

as the skin. Two layers of akin cover the body. The lower
layer known as dermis is made up of fibrous tissues having
blood vessels , glands, hair follicles, sweat glands, etc.
It is very essential that the skin is kept clean. Dust and
dirt collect on the skin and become mixed with salts and
the scales of the outer skin. They thus from fertile soil
for the growth of germs.

The most important functions of the skin are ?

(1) To regulate body temperature. The skin which is exposed
to the cooling action of the air outside, plays an important
part in regulating the loss of heat and maintaining uniform
temperature of body. This is dine by the mechanism if
dilation and contraction of superficial blood vessels and by
the evaporation of water from the body surface. In fact
this function if the skin can be compared to that of the
radiator of a car

touch, etc.. are all felt by the skin and conveyed to the brain

function of the skin can be compared to that of the radiator
of a car.
