GAME: [|http://www.superteachertools.com/speedmatch/online/game1323267668] The **human skin** is the outer covering of the body. In [|humans], it is the largest organ of the [|integumentary system]. The skin has multiple layers of [|ectodermal] [|tissue] and guards the underlying [|muscles], [|bones], [|ligaments] and [|internal organs].[|[1]] Human skin is similar to that of most other [|mammals], except that it is not protected by a [|pelt]. Though nearly all human skin is covered with [|hair follicles], it appears hairless. There are two general types of skin, hairy and [|glabrous skin].[|[2]] The adjective **cutaneous** literally means "of the skin" (from Latin //cutis//, skin). Because it interfaces with the environment, skin plays a key role in protecting (the body) against [|pathogens][|[3]] and excessive water loss.[|[4]] Its other functions are [|insulation], [|temperature] regulation, sensation, synthesis of [|vitamin D], and the protection of [|vitamin B] folates. Severely damaged skin will try to heal by forming [|scar tissue]. This is often discolored and depigmented.
