Our skin, dermis and epidermis, is the largest organ of the human body. It serves as our most important immune defence system, keeping bacterias out of our system.
The skin is also important in temperature regulation as it reports our "shell temperature" which is usually lower than our "core temperature" which is the temperature of our viscera and should be about 37 C. It regulates temperature by sweating and by erector pili muscles which raises hair and gives you goosebumps. This will trap hot air between the hairs on the skin.
