The skin is often taught as a static covering, yet embryologically it is a dynamic, multifunctional organ that mediates the body’s earliest relationship with its environment. This episode explores how the integumentary system develops from surface ectoderm and mesenchyme to form a protective, sensory, and regenerative boundary.
