TLDR The skin is vital for protection, temperature control, fluid balance, immunity, and sensing, with damage affecting daily life and mental health.
This study examines the embryological origin, anatomical, and histological structure of the skin, highlighting its critical roles in protection, thermoregulation, fluid control, immunity, and sensory perception. The skin comprises the epidermis (ectodermal origin) and the dermis (mesodermal origin), with specialized structures like nerve endings and corpuscles for stimulus reception. Cutaneous vessels originate from arterial sources or muscular vessel branches. Post-lesion changes in the skin can significantly impact daily life, potentially leading to social isolation, job loss, and neurotic disorders.
