Answer:

skin

Explanation:

The skin is vital for our general health and well-being. In addition to acting as the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses, healthy skin also maintains fluid balance and helps regulate body temperature. She is very sensitive, she recognizes the slightest touch as well as pain.

As an outer layer that we can see and touch, the epidermis protects us from toxins, bacteria, and fluid loss. It consists of 5 sublayers of keratinocyte cells. These cells, produced in the deepest inner, basal layer, migrate to the surface of the skin. As they do so, they mature and go through a series of changes.
