Ep053 The Skin

The skin is the body’s largest organ—and in first aid, it’s often the first barrier we protect and treat. In this episode, we explore the three main layers of the skin, what they do, and why understanding them matters when managing wounds, burns, bleeding, or infection.

You’ll learn about its role in regulating body temperature, producing vitamin D, removing waste, and sensing danger—and how all of this connects back to providing better first aid.
