Is it true that your body's largest organ is the skin?!


Question: I never paid attention to health or science in school. I overheard a kid in the checkout line today at Wal-Mart telling his mother that he learned that at school.

Yes it's true, I think you did not paid attention your study also,ha ha....(Sorry)

damn yes.

yes

Yes, it is correct. And, you thought incorrectly.

puff..kids these day :P

yep

Nope. the skin is the largest organ.
Neat eh?

Yes because........ it just is

yes

yes

Yes its true, as an organ is a group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions. The skins function being protecting your flesh from outside harm.

Your eyes are organs and are partially outside, same with your inner ear.

It can be said that way, yes. However, I have doubts as to whether skin can really be regarded as an organ.

Your skin is alot more than just a layer of something that stops your internals from falling out. It has many functions, has its own blood supply and is made up of cells that communicate and work together. These characteristics make it an organ.

Yep your epidermis is your largest organ.

Yes its true

yes it is true

YES. SKIN DOES A LOT MORE THINGS THAN MOST PEOPLE REALIZE. IT PROTECTS YOUR BODY FROM INFECTION, IT ALSO PROTECT THE INTERNAL LIVING TISSUES AND ORGANS, IT PROTECTS THE BODY FROM DEHYDRATION, IT HELPS REGULATE BODY TEMPERATURE IT ELIMINATES WASTE MATERIALS, STORES WATER AND FAT, AND HAS NERVE ENDINGS TO LET US FEEL THINGS AND TO WARN US IF WE ARE TOUCHING SOMETHING HARMFUL BY CAUSING PAIN.

Well, yes.
The definition of organ is consist of different types of tissues that are combined to do the same function.
So, therefore, skin IS the largest organ for our body.
:D

Lol i remember learning that! (2 weeks ago) we discussed that in class! and Skin is an exturnal organ and makes up of 25% of your body weight

its true babes

yup its true. the skin is also called the integumentary system!

yes, it is true!

The ody is made up of different veins, tissues and muscles, just like any other organ in the body.

The skin is just more durable and external!

Yes. It has a specific function to keep all internal organs and bones inside that is why it is considered an organ.

no, there lying to you. i take it your a blond?

i'm not sure how skin can be an organ, I thought it was just protection

Wow you should have paid more attention in school, then maybe you'd know the answer to this question, or at least wouldn't have to be shopping at walmart.
