1. EPIDERMIS- thin, outer layer of the skin that is primarily made up of dead skin cells which acts as the very first line of defense. Also it produces the nonliving parts of skin like hair and nails.

DERMIS- thick, inner layer of the skin that contains the most specialized structures- blood vessels, the nerve endings, and sweat and oil glands. This is also where the fat is stored.

2. PROTECTION- the first line of defense for the body is the skin. The hardened cells and oily substances in the epidermis keep disease-causing organisms out of the body. Also it uses pigments to keep out UV rays and harmful light so the skin stays healthy. Also hairs and nails act to keep dust away from the skin and protect the delicate tips of fingers.

SENSATION- Receptors, which are nerve endings, receive information on the environment and constantly sends these signals to the brain. This helps you avoid harmful situations as the receptors sense extreme temperature and dangerous objects.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION- The skin has sweat glands and blood vessels that help keep the temperature consistently between 97-99 *F. Perspiration as well as blood flow is used to release heat. In heat blood vessels dilate and you sweat release heat to cool the body. In the cold sweat glands slow production and blood vessels do not dilate. Also the fat is used to combat the cold. Additionally, hairs compress and cuddle against the skin to trap the heat.
