 Function of skin

Skin
The skin is made up of two layers—the superficial epidermis and the deeper dermis.
Your skin is composed of three layers, with nerves that recognize different sensations in each layer:
The epidermis is the tough outer layer that acts as the first line of defense against the external
environment.The epidermis is the top layer of skin in your body. It has many important functions,
including protecting your body from the outside world, keeping your skin hydrated, producing new
skin cells and determining your skin color.
The primary role of the dermis is to support the epidermis and enable the skin to thrive. It also plays
a number of other roles due to the presence of nerve endings, sweat glands, sebaceous glands hair
follicles, and blood vessels
Dermis: The middle layer of your skin. This layer is the thickest. It contains sweat and oil glands and
hair follicles.
Hypodermis: The bottom layer of your skin. It’s the fatty layer of your skin that helps insulate your
body.

Nails
Your nails protect the ends of your fingers and toes. The anatomy of your nail
consists of:
Nail plate: The hard part of your nail you can see.
Nail bed: The skin under your nail plate.
Cuticle: The thin skin at the base of your nail plate.
Matrix: The “root” of your nail responsible for making it grow.
FUNCTION OF
GLANDS

Glands
Glands are found throughout your skin. They release materials like water, salt or oil
from under your skin to the surface of your skin. Your integumentary system
consists of the glands:

sebaceous glands: These glands produce sebum (oil) and give your face its oil.
