Thanks to what features does the skin protect our body?

The skin is an amazing human organ. Firstly, it is covered with a layer of fat that is secreted from the sebaceous glands, which allows you to reduce the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on a person and avoid burns. Also, the fat coating prevents many bacteria, protozoa and viruses from penetrating the skin into the body. Secondly, the skin has a large number of pores through which gas exchange with the environment is carried out, an insignificant part of toxins is removed and sweat is released through the sweat glands located on the skin, which helps in the regulation of heat exchange.
