 Skin - Function
 Provides a physical barrier to the outside
environment

 Assists in the development of the immune
system

 Conserves body fluid by preventing
evaporative loss

 Maintains body temperature
 Skin - Function
 Excretes water and oils

 Produces vitamin D in the presence of
sunlight

 Provides sensations of temperature and
touch

 Stores water, fat and vitamin D

 What is the Thermo regulation ?

 Thermoregulation
 The temperature of the body is regulated
by hypothalamus

 Sweating begins almost precisely at a skin
temperature of 37 C

 If the skin temperature drops below 37 C a
variety of responses are initiated to
conserve the heat in the body and to
increase heat production
