How does the skin help us?

Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is a protective covering - keeps bacteria out, keeps warmth in. It provides us sensory perception: we feel through nerve endings on the skin (touch, heat, cold, pressure, pain). Skin acts as part of the excretory system by ridding the body of salts (sweat). It helps us produce vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight.
