Functions of the skin
Give this one a try later!
o Protection - injury from physical, chemical, thermal, and light wave
sources
o Prevents penetration - barrier that stops invasion of microorganism and
loss of water and electrolytes from the body
o Perceptions - vast sensory surface
o Temp regulation - heat dissipation and heat storage
o Identification - unique combo to identify people with
o Communication - emotions can be expressed from skin and face
o Wound repair - cell replacement
o Absorption and excretion - limited excretion of wastes allowed
o Production of vitamin d - skin is surface where UV light converts
cholesterol into vitamin D
