Overview
The skin is a complex organ system that, like most organs in the body, works in conjunction with many other body systems to fulfil a variety of important functions, including acting as a barrier against injury, infection and environmental factors; maintaining an optimum body temperature; enabling us to feel pain and other sensations; storing water and fat; and excreting waste products.
An understanding of its structure and functions is, therefore, crucial to many areas of health care, most notably dermatology, pain control, infection control and wound care. As the largest and most visible organ in the body, the skin can also provide valuable clues to a person’s health and well-being. About the author
