What does it do?
• PROTECTION
– Air = desiccation
– Water = bloating/”pruning”
– Sun/u-v = burns
– Cold/heat = frostbite/heat
stroke/thermoregulation
• STRUCTURAL
– Integrity of body
– Muscle attachment

How does it do it?
PROTECTION (mostly epidermis)
Desiccation—keratin, lipid layer
Water = keratin, lipid layer
Sun/u-v = role of pigment/melanin
Cold/heat = surface blood vessels
STRUCTURAL (mostly dermis)
Integrity—Dermal layer has network of tough
collagen fibers in connective tissue
Sub-dermal layer where muscle tendons
insert

Skin is really an organ…
Made up of two very different
basic tissue types
the epidermis which is
composed of epithelial tissues
The dermis which is composed
of connective tissue
