Answer:

Believe it or not, skin is actually your body's largest organ! All skin is made up of three primary layers:
- Epidermis (top layer)
- Dermis (middle layer)
- Subcutaneous layer or hypodermis (lower layer)
Skin has several very important tasks, including:
- Protecting the muscles, bones, and organs of your body
- Regulating body temperature
- Encasing the nerves that enable your sense of touch and relay messages-like the tactile sensations of soft, hard, hot, cold, comfort, and pain-to your brain.
