The skin has only 2 layers—epidermis and dermis. Hypodermis, if that’s what you have in mind as the third, isn’t considered part of the skin.

The epidermis is a barrier to infection, trauma, and water loss (dehydration); it’s important to our social interactions; and it’s the body’s largest sense organ. The dermis provides toughness and resistance to mechanical stress; provides blood vessels that come close to the epidermis and nourish it (but don’t enter it); contains a variety of sensory receptors for touch, heat, cold, pressure, and vibration; and is an arena of immune defense in which white blood cells can rally at a site of infection and fight off intruders.

Ymorist [56]

Some <u>birds</u> are both primary consumers and secondary consumers.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Primary consumers are the class of animals that are feeding upon the producers as their primary food. Secondary consumers are the class of animals that are feeding upon a primary consumer to feed themselves.  

Some of the birds like sparrow, humming birds etc feed on fruits and seeds of plants to maintain their lives. They are thus the primary consumers.  Others like eagle, crow eats on flesh of primary consumers. So they are secondary consumers.  Thus birds can be both primary consumers and secondary consumers.
