The skin and blood play crucial roles in the functioning of animals.
Skin:
1. Protection: The skin acts as a barrier that protects the internal organs and tissues from physical damage, pathogens, and harmful substances.
2. Regulation of body temperature: The skin helps regulate body temperature by controlling the loss of heat through sweating and the constriction or dilation of blood vessels.
3. Sensation: The skin contains sensory receptors that allow animals to perceive touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
4. Vitamin D synthesis: The skin plays a role in the production of vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
Blood:
1. Transportation: Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products to and from cells throughout the body.
2. Regulation: Blood helps regulate body temperature, pH levels, and fluid balance.
3. Immunity: Blood contains white blood cells that help defend the body against pathogens and foreign substances.
4. Clotting: Blood contains platelets and proteins that help form blood clots to prevent excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is damaged.

Skin
- Protection: Forms a barrier against physical trauma, pathogens, and UV radiation.
- Thermoregulation: Regulates body temperature through sweating, shivering, and vasodilation/vasoconstriction.
- Sensation: Contains sensory receptors for touch, temperature, and pain.
- Excretion: Sweat glands release excess salt and water through perspiration.
- Synthesis: Produces vitamin D through exposure to sunlight.
- Communication: Displays coloration, patterns, and other physical adaptations for mating, camouflage, and warning.
Blood
- Transport: Carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body.
- Regulation: Maintains body temperature, pH, and ionic balance.
- Protection: Contains white blood cells and antibodies to fight infections.
- Clotting: Forms blood clots to prevent excessive bleeding from wounds.
- Lubrication: Plasma provides lubrication for joints and organs.
- Waste Removal: Transports carbon dioxide and other waste products to the respiratory and excretory systems for removal.
