Study Notes

Skin Structure and Functions

Specialized structures found in the dermis include hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and arrector pili muscles.
The outer cells of the epidermis, also known as stratum corneum, provide a barrier against water loss and protect the body from external factors.
Arrector pili muscles are responsible for causing hair to stand upright, resulting in "goosebumps" when stimulated.
The deeper layers of the epidermis, comprising the stratum spinosum and stratum basale, are responsible for producing new skin cells and replacing damaged or dead skin cells.
The skin, as the largest organ of the body, plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external damage, regulating body temperature, and aiding in the senses of touch and feel.
