what organs are part of the skin?
604803
Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Skin serves several functions: it guards the underlying organs and muscles, it regulates our body temperature, it provides our sense of touch and it synthesizes vitamins D and B.\n\nThe skin includes parts like our hair and nails. In addition, there are several layers to skin, e.g., the epidermis and the dermis. Skin accounts for 15% of our body weight so you can see why it's called the largest organ in our body.\n\nThe above is basic information and you can already see how complex skin is. So there's lets to research and talk about when you're talking about skin.\n\nHope this helps.

A lot, actually. The kidney and the small and large intestines are the most well-known ones. But your skin actually does it's share of excreting waste from your body too. And so do your lungs. Carbon dioxide is a waste product after all.

The immune system is made up of three major components:  \nCentral lymphoid organs & tissue\nPeripheral "           "             "\nAccessory  "           "             "\nThe Lymphatic system is sometimes condsidered part of the circulatory system.  It is composed of the lymphatic vessels, lymph fluid, lymph nodes, thymus gland and spleen.  The system transports fluid (tissue fluid) from the tissues back to the bloodstream and carries certain fatty substances away from the digestive organs.  Lymphatic organs also aid in defending the body against infections by removing particles such as microorganisms from the tissue fluid.  In addition, it supports the activities of certain cells (lymphocytes) that produce immunity by reacting against specific disease-causing agents.

your skin is to close to your blood vessels.

yes, they line body cavities or surface of organs, so by that definition they all have an apical surface on top AND a basement membrane on bottom. Simple epithelial tissue is only one cell thick, so it is the apical layer and touches the basement mbn. \n\nStratified epithelial tissues have multiple layers,so the top layer would be apical, while the bottom layer touches the basement membrane. Epidermis of our skin is stratified squamous epithelium. The stratum corneum is the topmost apical layer and the stratum basale is at the basement membrane. There are 2 or 3 other layers between these two depending what area of the body you are studying the tissue in.

Actually the Dermis is the second layer of skin the Epidermis is the outer most layer.\n\nThe dermis lies below the epidermis and contains a number of structures including blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, smooth muscle, glands and lymphatic tissue.

In biology, an organ (Latin: organum, "instrument, tool") is a group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions. Usually there is a main tissue and sporadic tissues. The main tissue is the one that is unique for the specific organ. For example, main tissue in the heart is the myocardium, while sporadic are the nervous, blood, connective etc. (Wikipedia.org)\n\nIn zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation and vitamin D and B synthesis. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.(Wikipedia.org)\n\nPretty much the skin is considered an organ because it is a group of tissues speciallizing in a certain task / tasks. For example the skin regulates temperature by using the sweat glands to produce sweat - sweat evaporates and cools the body.

Ears. Even breathing in them makes goose bumps pop out on my arms and legs. (You didn't ask what the most pleasurable part of the body is..that would be a different answer.)

The skin is composed of two main layers: the outer epidermis and the inner dermis.The epidermis is epithelial tissue and is avascular, meaning that it does not have any blood vessels,therefore no blood supply. However, the dermis which is underneath the epidermis and part of the skin is vascular. It contains blood vessels, therefore blood supply. So, when the cut is superficial and goes only through the epidermis, thee is no bleeding. But if it is a deeper cut reaching the dermis, we will of course bleed because of the presence  of blood vessels in this region of the skin.

I agree, this is your homework, and you need to do it.  But let me say something, so you don't pick up a mistake here.  The thin skin that holds the organs in place is not fat bodies.  It is something that is related to the embryonic development of the animal.  As the embryo develops you get three germ layers, one of which gives rise to the skin you are looking for.  As for the intestine question, ask yourself what the function of the differnt parts of the digestive tract is.  In fact, think about what it is you need to achieve in digestion.  \n\nGood luck.

It IS the liver.  Your skin is an organ but it is on the outside of your body.  The question specifically asks for the largest organ IN your body.

Common animal (including human) organs include the heart, lungs, brain, eye, stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, liver, intestines, skin, uterus, and bladder.\n\nBlood vessels exist in varying calibers:\n\nArteries \nAorta (the largest artery, carries blood out of the heart) \nBranches of the aorta, such as the carotid artery, the subclavian artery, the celiac trunk, the mesenteric arteries, the renal artery and the ileac artery. \nArterioles \nCapillaries (the smallest blood vessels) \nVenules \nVeins \nLarge collecting vessels, such as the subclavian vein, the jugular vein, the renal vein and the iliac vein. \nVenae cavae (the 2 largest veins, carry blood into the heart)
