What is the relationship between the structure and function of the skin?

The skin is a multi-layered organ that protects the body from aggressive environmental influences. Protection against infections is provided by the non-pathogenic flora permanently living on the skin. It prevents harmful bacteria from growing on the skin and causing infections. The skin successfully resists mechanical stress – only sharp objects can damage it. And even if a wound appears on the skin, it heals quickly – all this is due to the fact that the skin is constantly regenerating, forming new cells.
