Skin helps us from various external factors such as extreme temperature, ultra violet rays, various toxic substances released by factories in atmosphere and also harmful micro organisms.

When body temperature rises skin helps in facilitating the heat loss.

Skin is said as waterproof of our body, as the skin prevents excess lot of water from the body.

When any external damage occurs it is skin which acts as a sense organ and informing the brain about the damage.
