We have skin that covers our bodies but when does it stop being skin? Our tongues have skin but do our throats? What about our stomachs, lungs, intestines, and everything on the inside they don’t have skin. So where does it end and become whatever it is?
In: Biology
The outermost surface of skin is epithelium, and you have that in all kinds of places, in your nose, throat, blood vessels, kidneys, etc.
But underneath the epithelium, skin has dermal tissue. That contains nerves, hair follicles, muscle fibres, capillaries, sweat glands. That’s the tissue that makes skin skin, and you only find those things on the outside.
It’s also the largest organ in the body.
