The protection of the skin primarily involves the skin's ability to act as a physical barrier against external harmful environmental factors such as microbes, toxins, and UV radiation. However, the skin does not provide protection against internal diseases or conditions that can affect the body's organs or systems. Therefore, the skin's protective function is limited to external threats.
