Study Notes
Skin Layers
- The epidermis layer of the skin provides a barrier against water loss and protects the body from external factors such as temperature, injury, and infection
- The dermis layer of the skin contains hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sensory receptors that detect sensations like touch, pressure, and temperature
- The hypodermis layer of the skin attaches the skin to underlying bones and muscles, and also stores energy in the form of fat
