FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN – SKIN BIOLOGY

FUNCTIONS OF THE SKIN – SKIN BIOLOGY

As we know the skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of 20 square feet. The skin is unique in many ways and demands so much attention, now is up to us how much effort we put in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SKIN BIOLOGY – FUNCTIONS
 

Protect the body from cold or heat, maintain a constant core temperature, and protect from harmful agents.

Absorption – thousands of pores on the surface of the skin absorbs everything like water, oxygen, vitamins, acids and so on.

Excretion – it happens when toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.

Secretion – the skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle, this acid is very fine and slightly acidic made of natural oils, amino acids and sweat, and this helps shield the skin from bacteria, viruses, or other potential contaminants.

Regulation – The skin regulates the body temperature through blood vessels and through the process of sweating. Now if we talk about the heat, this makes the blood vessels enlarge – allowing the blood to circulate near the skin surface and the heat is released. Cold on the other hand makes the blood vessels narrow and retain the body’s heat.

Sensation – an important function of the skin dermis is to detect different sensations like heat, cold, pressure, contact and pain.
