Perceptual function |
Human skin has a touch spot, which gives a feeling of touch, and warm and cold spots, which give a feeling of warm or cold, from which a signal is transmitted along the nerve to the brain, where the stimuli are received. |
Body temperature adjustment function |
Human skin works to regulate body temperature. When the body becomes hot, the skin cools the body by sweat. When the body becomes cold, the skin develops goose bumps and warms the body by generating heat. |
Secretion function |
The skin works to secrete sweat made in sweat glands and secrete sebum made in sebaceous glands. |
Absorptive function |
The skin works to absorb substances through the epidermal route (stratum corneum) and the hair follicle route (pores). |
Skin turnover |
The skin works to create new skin cells to replace existing cornified cells on the surface layer of the skin. |
