Unveiling The Layers Of Skin And How They Protect Our Bodies

Chloe and the Nurb explore the layers of the skin, including the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat. They discuss the functions of each layer, such as cell production, melanin, nerve endings, sweat and oil glands, and hair follicles. The video highlights the skin's role in protection, sensation, and temperature regulation.

What is the primary function of the epidermis?

What is the function of sebaceous glands?

• To detect touch

• To store fat

What is the purpose of sweat glands?

• To protect bones

• To cool the body through evaporation

• To produce sebum

• To produce melanin

Why is subcutaneous fat important?

• It helps in producing melanin

• It cushions and protects organs

• It creates an oily layer on the skin

• It detects sensations

What causes goosebumps to form?

• The increase in melanin

• The evaporation of sweat

• The contraction of erector pili muscles

• The production of sebum

How does the body respond when it is cold?
