living epidermis
dermis
containment function
confine underlying tissues and restrain their moevemtn
microbial barrier function
ph of skin is 5, which inhibits the growth of bacteria
sebum contains bacteristatic and fungistatic fatty acids
chemical barrier function
permeability resistance of stratum corneum is several order of magnitude greater than other barrier membranes of the body
radiation barrier function
exposre the UV stimulates synthesis of melanin, which absorbs UV rays
electrical barrier
offers high impedance to the flow of an electrical current
need to treat the skin skin solutions and overcome the impendance to measure body potenials. use granular salt suspensions, creams, pastes containing electrolytes

maintains 98.6 by dilating/contracting blood vessels or sweating
