First, first of all or in the first place, that\'s the meaning, rather than mainly or chiefly. The difference is subtle, but worth noting. |

| Note from asker to answererThis is a difficult one, as there could be two meanings. I think this one seems appropriate within the context. Thank you to both of you.

Explanation:
yes, it's first as in the first place, but in this context it's chiefly, mainly, above all, principally - meaning that skin is the most important, the first (and almost unique, afaik) factor keeping them up (and also the first one to become hypotonic) - hth

frankly, it is not so clear from the sentence if \'in primis\' means here that skin is the most important factor keeping them up OR if it is the first one to get down - I think it actually canveys both meanings - however, if the second hypothesys applies, sphynx is absolutely right
