Answer 2

Answer:

B) helps the body with digestion.

Explanation:

The skin is the largest organ of our body, it covers and ensures a large part of the relations between the internal and external environments. In addition, it acts in the defense and collaborates with other organs for the proper functioning of the organism, such as the control of body temperature and the development of metabolites. It consists of dermis and epidermis, tissues closely united, which act in a harmonious and cooperative way.

The skin does not act in the digestion of the organism, but if we have to summarize its main functions we will have:

• receives sensory information from the environment.
• protects the body from accidents or injury
• maintains body temperature
