It also provides protection and maintains body temperature. The skin is also responsible for the sense of touch, through nerve endings known myelinated and unmyelinated branches of spinal nerves which elicit sensations such as warmth, cold and itch. A person’s skin colour is primarily determined and special cells called melanocytes. There are other things like carotene which also contribute to skin colour.
