ANATOMY OF THE SKIN: STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF THE EPIDERMIS AND DERMIS
Mirzayev Mirzokhid Vokhidovich , Assistant Department of anatomyAbstract
The skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving as a protective barrier between the internal organs and the external environment. It consists of multiple layers, with the epidermis and dermis being the most significant in terms of function. This article explores the structure of the skin, particularly the epidermis and dermis, and their critical roles in maintaining body homeostasis. The epidermis is responsible for the skin's protective functions, while the dermis houses important structures such as blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles that play essential roles in sensation and thermoregulation. This article also discusses the processes involved in skin regeneration and the implications of skin diseases and disorders on these functions.
