Q

how does the skin protect

A

it is a barrier to biological pathogens
sweat creates an acid mantle
physical barrier to protect the muscles, bones form drying out (desiccation)
protects us from chemicals
detects cutaneous sensation
excretion and absorption( excretes sweat, absorbs medications
synthesis of sunlight
