Question
Chapter 32.1, Problem 2MI
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Two facts about skin.
Introduction:
The largest organ of the body is the skin. It has 20 square feet of total area. Its main function is to protect animals from microbes, harmful elements, regulate the body temperature, and allows sense of touch, cold, and heat.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Two facts about skin are:
1. The 15% of body weight is constituted by the skin, as it is the largest organ of the body.
2. There are about 300 million skin cells in an average human being.
