The human skin is the outer covering of the body. In humans it is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has multiple layers of ectodermal tissue and guards the underlying muscles bones ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to that of most other mammals except that it is not protected by a fur. Though nearly all human skin is covered with hair follicles it can appear hairless. There are two general types of skin hairy and glabrous skin.
