i dont know yet
The skin, part of the integumentary system, helps protect against large temperature changes (thermoregulation), ultraviolet radiation (melanin in skin absorbs UV), and fluid loss (acts as a barrier). However, the skin has sensory receptors that detect pressure and pain stimuli rather than protecting against them.
