THE SKIN

I AM THE SKIN

I am the skin and I’m very important and essential to the human body. I surround the whole human body and do many functions to keep it working. It would be a tragedy to get me fired since then, the body and the company will just fall apart, literally.

THE SKIN

I am found everywhere on the human body because I surround it.

I am considered the largest organ of the body. I lose around 30000-40000 dead skin cells from the surface about every minute. I renew myself every 28 days. Also, the thinnest layer of me is located on the eyelid. And, I swell when I absorb water.

THE SKIN

I don’t really “work” with other departments of the human body corporation, but I do protect it all from diseases, water, loss, changes in temperature, and other life risking conditions. I am basically the walls that protect the company from being exposed to everything else. Although I don’t work with other departments, I am made up of 3 layers that work together to do complete my job. They are Epidermis, Dermis, and Hypodermis.

THE SKIN

Epidermis is the top layer which always gets renewed. This is the barrier which contains the dead skin cells on top. I look very good on young people because I get renewed often, but as age of a person increases, I start looking more dried up and worn. After, comes the Hypodermis, which is the permanent layer I got. It never goes away. The job of this layer is to protect the corporation from other substances. And the last layer of me is the Hypodermis, is the “hairy” part of me, because it’s the one that the hairs grow out of. It also contains the sweat glands and main blood vessels, which deliver blood to the higher 2 layers.

THE SKIN

Mainly, I’m a department myself so I don’t really have any colleges with who I work that much. Well, maybe the heart, with the circulatory system, which delivers blood to me and keeps me working. Also, I am a part of the excretory system and I excrete urea and other wastes from my body with the sweat glands contained in hypodermis.

THE SKIN

It would be a crucial tragedy if I get fired since there wouldn’t be anything else standing in the way between the corporation and the dangers of the outside world. Everything would fall apart. Diseases would get inside and destroy the company. The changes in the temperature and water loss would greatly affect other systems, causing an end to our existence.

THE SKIN

First, the circulatory system will cancel because of the blood loss. Then, due to lack of materials needed by other organs, muscle system will shut down, the skeleton system will fall apart, and all the other systems, one by one, will shut down because this corporation is based like a clock, it needs every little piece to work together and function properly to continue on its road to success.
