System
1. Epidermis - The outermost layer of the skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
2. Dermis (corium) - to support and protect the skin and deeper layers, assist in thermoregulation, and aid
in sensation.
3. Subcutaneous layer - It provides the main structural support for the skin, as well as insulating the body
from cold and aiding shock absorption.
4. Nerve - To sense and transmit heat, pain, and other noxious sensations.
5. Hair follicle - Produce hair fibers in a regular cycle. As part of their hair-producing role, hair follicles retain
stem cells, promote cell growth and tissue invasion and induce angiogenesis.
6.Pressure receptor - Sense pressure and vibration changes deep in the skin. Skin receptors don’t only
respond to touch. They also register pain as well as warmth and cold.
7. Artery - Vasoconstriction by arterioles (small arteries) in the dermis layer provides a smaller surface area in
the blood vessels, resulting in less heat loss. Vasodilatation by arterioles in the dermis layer provides a larger
surface area in the blood vessels, resulting in greater heat loss.
8. Vein -Vessels of the circulatory system that support circulation by conveying blood to the heart. Blood
flowing through the circulatory system transports nutrients, oxygen, and water to cells throughout the
body.
9. Adipose (fat) cells - Connective-tissue cell specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat.
10. Fibrous connective tissue - To provide support and shock absorption to our bones and organs.
11. Sudoriferous (sweat) gland - Are sweat producing glands. These are important to help maintain body
temperature.
12. Muscle (arector pili) - This is a tiny muscle that attaches to the base of a hair follicle at one end and
to dermal tissue on the other end. In order to generate heat when the body is cold, the arrector pili muscles
contract all at once, causing the hair to "stand up straight" on the skin.
13. Stratum corneum - The barrier that prevents unwanted materials from entering, and excessive loss of
water from exiting the body.
14. Pore (opening of sweat gland) - Allow sweat and oil to escape through your skin, cooling you off and
keeping your skin healthy while getting rid of toxins. Pores are also the openings of hair follicles.
15. Stratum basale (growing layer) - This layer contains column-shaped basal cells that are constantly dividing
and being pushed toward the surface. The stratum basale is also home to melanocytes that produce
melanin(the pigment responsible for skin color).
16. Sebaceous (oil gland) - To produce and secrete sebum, a group of complex oils including triglycerides and
fatty acid breakdown products, wax esters, squalene, cholesterol esters and cholesterol. Sebum lubricates the
skin to protect against friction and makes it more impervious to moisture.
17. Nerve Endings - Are the millions of points on the surface of your body and inside it which send messages to
your brain when you feel sensations such as heat, cold, and pain.
