Is skin an organ? 2007-06-17 16:22:36

So the topic got brought up one day. Is skin an organ? An organ is defined as something in the body with a specific function. The skin's job is to protect from pathogens, ultraviolet radiation, and to create Vitamin D. Yet, counterpoint could say that the skin is not inside the body, and therefore could not be included. Discuss please.

The answer is yes. It is in fact your body's largest organ. Q = A'd.
