Unit 3 skillS Our first line of defence T he skin is the largest and heaviest organ of the body. It is the main barrier between the body and the outside world. It serves many important functions:   it protects the body from external factors   mechanical, biological and chemical;   it regulates body temperature;   it allows us to have the sensations of touch, heat, and cold;   it maintains water and electrolyte balance;   it produces vitamin D as a response to exposure to UVB radiation. The skin is made up of three layers, each with its own important 3 parts: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (or subcutaneous). Together, the epidermis and dermis form the cutaneous layer. The hypodermis is a subcutaneous layer connecting the skin to the underlying tissues. It also serves as a shock absorber and insulator for the organs. New skin cells are continuously forming at the bottom of the epidermis. When the cells are ready, they move toward the top of the epidermis to replace old cells. As they arrive, older top cells die and rise to the surface of the skin. Therefore, the cells covering and protecting our bodies are really dead skin cells which we will soon loose. Every minute of the day we lose about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells off the surface of our skin. That s almost 4 kilograms of cells every year!

THE SKIN skillS The part of skin we can see T           he epidermis is the strong outside layer of skin cells. It consists of five layers: Stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis. It is made up of dead skin cells called keratinocytes. Cells from the lower layers of the epidermis continually eliminate and replace dead cells. This layer prevents the dehydration of the skin thanks to the presence of natural moisturizing factor. The thickness of the stratum corneum gets thicker as we grow old. Stratum lucidum is a waterproof barrier made of flat transparent dead cells. Stratum granulosum is the layer where keratin is formed. Keratin is an important structural component of the outer layers of the skin. The cells in this layer also produce materials that prevent evaporation. Stratum spinosum contains keratin-producing cells and includes white blood cells which are part of our immune system. They help detect foreign substances and defend the body against infection, but they are also responsible for the development of skin allergies. Stratum germinativum   or basal   is the deepest layer of the epidermis. The cells of this layer continuously divide and form new epithelium cells. This layer also contains keratinocytes and melanocytes, which protect the skin against harmful ultraviolet sunrays. 5 A B C                     deepest: più profondo to detect: scovare flat: piatto foreign: estraneo harmful: dannoso moisturizing: idratante outer/outermost: esterno to prevent: impedire to replace: sostituire thickness: spessore Hair Label the picture with the names of the skin layers. 1. ............................. 2. ............................. 3. ............................. 4. .............................
