This organ protects the body against mechanical, chemical, and poisonous aggressions, as well as heat, cold, UV radiation, and infectious microbes. It is also necessary for the maintenance of body fluid balance, acting as a barrier against potential water loss (transcutaneous water loss), the maintenance of thermal equilibrium, and the transmission of a large amount of external information to the organism via touch, pressure, temperature, and pain receptors.
