The skin, also called integument, is the largest organ in the body. Together with its accessory organs
(hair, nails, and glands), the skin makes up the integumentary system. Its elaborate system of distinct tissues includes glands that produce several types of secretions, nerves that transmit impulses, and blood vessels that help regulate body temperature. The skin covers and protects all outer surfaces of the body and performs many vital functions, including the sense of touch.
