Facts about Skin Largest organ in the body. Surface area of 18 sq. ft., weighs 6-10 lbs. 3000 sq inches of surface area. About 15% of total body weight.

Layers of the Skin Epidermis – “Horny Layer” Outermost layer semi-permeable 5 Layers : Two main Layers: Stratum Corneum Stratum Germinativum

Skin Layers Dermis: “True Skin” Corium Elastic connective tissue Contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, involuntary muscle, sweat and oil glands, and hair follicles. The top layer is papillae, fit into the layers of the stratum germinativum of the epidermis Forms fingerprints

Skin Layers Subcutaneous Fascia “Hypodermis”- the innermost layer. Elastic and fibrous connective tissue and adipose tissue. Connects the skin to underlying muscles.

Functions of the Skin Protection : Serves as barrier UV light, pathogens, and germs. Holds moisture in and prevents deeper tissues from drying out. Sensory Perception: Nerves in the skin help the body respond.

Functions of the Skin Body Temperature Regulation: Blood vessels Sudoriferous glands cool by sweating and evaporation. Storage: Skin has tissues for temporary storage of fat, glucose, water, vitamins, and salts. Adipose is a source of energy.

Functions of the Skin Absorption: Medications Excretion: Eliminates salt, small amount of waste, excess water and heat. Production: Production of Vit D using UV light.
