N1 - The threefoldness of the skinIf the three layers of the human skin are analysed according to a functional view a picture of the effective formative forces in the skin is producedThe primary formative force of the outermost layer epidermis produces the horny substance which isolates the physical organism from its environment The production of the horny substance takes place by a death process of the hornproducing cells involved This is called terminal differentiation This process of terminal differentiation leads the substance to solidification and rigidity from which it cannot be reintegrated into the living organism but is expelled Physiologically and biochemically the epidermis shows the characteristics of organs with ectoderrnal origin the brain and the nerve systemThe internal layer of the skin the fatty tissue presents a functional character that is polar to the epidermis The subcutaneous fatty tissue is part of the metabolic system of the organism As a store for fats it is situath between uptake of nutritional fats and their release according to the needs of the organism Moreover the fatty tissue is an endocrine organ whose horrnoncs affect various metabolic processes In its lack of rigid solid structures and the resistance to apoptosis programmed cell death of the fat cells it represents a polarity to the epidermisThe dermis as the middle layer reveals properties of both formative principles The histological picture of the dermis is determined by the intercellular substance which consists of a structured part the fibres and a structureless part the amorphous matrix As a tissue the dermis is rich in blood and lymph vessels and also the intercellular substance is functionally part of the organisms circulation processes In the dermis the functions of the rhythmic system predominateThus the skin with its three layers represents all three parts of the whole human organism nervesense system rhythmic system and digestive system
