Expert Solution
Step 1

The skin is considered to be the largest sensory organ of the body. It has many nerve endings and receptors. The skin is primarily divided into 3 distinct layers - epidermis (outermost), the dermis (middle layer) and the hypodermis (innermost layer). The skin protects the body from microorganism, cold (insulation provided by the hair on it), waterproof (because of keratinized surface of the skin) and regulates body temperature via sweat glands to cool the body in hot weather conditions.
