Which of the following is not a function of the skin?

  1. Excoriation

  2. Immune defense

  3. Protection

  4. Temperature regulation

The correct answer is: Excoriation

The skin has several important functions, including protection, immune defense, and temperature regulation. Excoriation is the act of scratching or scraping the skin, and therefore it is not a function of the skin itself, but rather a potential consequence of skin irritation or injury. The other options are all essential functions of the skin.
