The main functions of the skin organ is to not let harmful substances(such as bacteria) from getting into the body, and to keep everything inside your body in.
Five of the major functions of the skin are:

  • protection against disease ( it acts as a first defense against disease causing particles, due to the fact most cant get through unopened skin)
  • sensory response (specialized nerve cells sense and relay info to the brain)
  • formation of vitamin D (formed by ultraviolet light in fat molecules in your epidermis)
  • maintaining body temperature ( blood vessels in the skin can help to hold or release heat maintaining a constant temperature)
  • waste exchange (sweat glands in the skin release waste in the sweat)
