Skin System The skin is the largest organ in the
body and protects us from microbes,
helps to regulate our temperature,
and allows sensations of touch, heat
and cold.
Skin has three layers: the epidermis,
dermis, and hypodermis or
subcutaneous tissue.
The colour of skin is determined by
cells in the epidermis called
melanocytes which produce melanin.
