How does our skin provide protection to our body against the entry of germs

Answer 1

• The body is protected by the skin in many ways.
• The melanin in the skin protects it from harmful UV rays.
• Keratin, a type of protein found in the skin, helps promote elasticity and supports the structure that forms the skin.
• The skin protects organs, inner tissues and even bones from being exposed to the outside world.
