Which molecule is responsible for waterproofing of the skin?
The molecule responsible for waterproofing the skin is ceramide. Ceramides are lipids naturally found in the skin that help to form a protective barrier, preventing water loss and keeping the skin hydrated.
Does skin transport materials through the body?
Yes, the skin helps transport materials through the body through processes like diffusion and absorption. Substances like oxygen, water, and some medications can pass through the skin and enter the bloodstream. However, the skin is selective in what it allows to pass through.
What is the organ that covers and protects the body and releases waste from the blood through sweat glands?
