The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and is essential for keeping us protected from invasion by harmful bacteria and controlling our body temperature.

We judge whether people are scared or are in love by changes in blood flow through their skin. We see people getting old by the wrinkles in their skin. In this title, we will investigate what skin is, how it grows and how it protects us. Keeping warm is vital for the human body. The skin plays an important role in achieving a constant body temperature through sweating and regulating the blood vessels under the skin's surface. The reason for temperature regulation is to ensure that enzymes work properly. This title will also review that enzyme action.

This title is also available in Biology - Organ Systems
