The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet

Skin has three layers: The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. -CORTEXThe dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.-CEREBELLUM The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.

Human skin is only about 0.07 inches (2 mm) thick. Skin is made up of two layers that cover a third fatty layer. The outer layer is called the epidermis; it is a tough protective layer that contains melanin (which protects against the rays of the sun and gives the skin its color).

The largest internal organ is the liver. It is

also the heaviest organ, with an average of 1.6 kilograms (3.5

pounds). The largest external organ,

which is also the largest organ in

general, is the skin.

•Skin color -a pigment -melanin -controlled by at least 6 genes. •Both light and dark complexioned people have melanin. •Two forms --pheomelanin -red to yellow in color, and eumelanin -dark brown to black.

Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production.
