The thin, outer layer of stratified squamous epithelium.

The thicker, inner layer of connective tissue, blood vessels, smooth muscle, and nervous tissue.

The layer beneath the dermis, made of areolar and adipose tissues, binding skin to tissues.

Gland secreting sebum, an oily substance that waterproofs and softens hair and skin.

Merocrine glands that respond to body temperature, found prominently on forehead, neck, and back.

Gland active at puberty; secretes sweat rich in proteins and fats, causing body odor.

Natural moisturizer that keeps skin soft by creating a protective barrier.

Keratin is a structural protein for waterproofing; melanin is a pigment protecting from UV rays.

Binds skin to underlying tissues and insulates the body.

Each hair grows from stem cells at the base of a tube-like structure.

Secretes sebum, which waterproofs and softens skin and hair.

More abundant sweat glands found on forehead, neck, and back.

Becomes active at puberty and responds to emotions and fear.

Made of closely packed epithelial cells for protection.

Pressure receptors detecting deep pressures and vibrations.

Pigment providing skin color and UV protection.

Outer layer of skin, made of stratified squamous epithelium.

Contains connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve tissues.

Smooth muscle causing goosebumps when contracted.

Moisturizes skin, keeping it soft and protective.

Structural protein providing waterproof barrier in skin.

Pigment produced by melanocytes for skin color and UV protection.

Made of areolar and adipose tissues; binds skin to tissues.

Contains blood vessels, hair follicles, and sensory structures; supports the epidermis.

Sweat glands that regulate body temperature, found mainly on the surface.

Most numerous in axilla and groin; active at puberty.

Usually found with hair follicles; secretes sebum to waterproof skin.

Smooth muscle attached to hair follicles; causes goosebumps when contracted.

Detects deep pressure and vibrations in the skin.

Cells producing melanin, giving skin its color and protection from UV rays.
