    Study Notes

    Skin Layers and Functions

    • The dermis, the layer beneath the epidermis, is responsible for sensory reception and temperature control.

    Epidermis Layers

    • The stratum lucidum, a layer of the epidermis, is absent in thin skin.

    Cell Production

    • The stratum basale, the innermost layer of the epidermis, is responsible for new-cell production.

    Connective Tissue

    • Elastic fibers provide flexible strength to tissues within the connective tissue.

    Hypodermis

    • The hypodermis, the layer beneath the dermis, helps to protect body heat.

    Outermost Layer

    • The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, consists of rough, flakelike dead cells.

    Sweat and Sebum Production

    • The dermis is responsible for making and distributing sweat and sebum.

    Epidermis Layers (continued)

    • The stratum lucidum, a layer of the epidermis, is absent in thin skin.

    Blood Supply

    • The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is avascular, meaning it has no blood supply.

    Epidermis Layers (continued)

    • The stratum granulosum consists of 2-5 layers of flat dead cells filled with keratohyalin granules.

    Epidermis Layers (continued)

    • The stratum basale consists of a single layer of columnar cells and is responsible for new-cell production.
