Description
THE SKIN is the largest organ of the body. It has several important functions. It acts as a protective layer against injury and disease and also regulates our body temperature and maintains its hydration.
The epidermis is made up of cells that produce keratin, a substance that covers the outside of the skin and resists heat, cold and the effects of many chemicals. The cells in the epidermis also produce melanin, the substance that gives our skin its colour. Melanin is able to absorb ultraviolet light and provide some protection from its damaging effects.
Cancer is a disease of the body's cells. Normally the body's cells grow and divide in an orderly manner so that growth and healing of injured tissues occurs.
