Functions of the Skin 2. Prevents the loss of water

3. Protects the body from infection and injury

4. Helps to regulate body temperature Functions of the Skin

Functions of the Skin 5. Gets rid of waste (sweat)

5. Gets rid of Wastes Sweat - Water - Sodium Chloride (salt) - Urea

6. Receives information from the environment Function of the Skin

Function of the Skin 7. Produces vitamin D

7. Formation of Vitamin D Produced in the epidermis Produced when UV light is present Vitamin D allows your body to absorb calcium

Skin Structure

2 Layers Epidermis Dermis

Epidermis Outermost Layer Made of dead skin cells New cells are constantly being made to replace the ones that are rubbed off Contains Melanin

Epidermis Outermost Layer Made of dead skin cells New cells are constantly being made to replace the ones that are rubbed off Contains Melanin

Melanin Pigment that gives your skin color Melanin increases in the presence of UV radiation Protects against UV damage

Dermis “True Skin” Layer below the epidermis Thicker than the epidermis Made of living cells Contains - blood vessels - nerves - sebaceous (oil) glands - sweat glands - hair follicles

Fatty Tissue Layer Below the dermis Insulates the body “Hypodermis”
