    The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of human skin. It describes the three main layers of skin - the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis acts as a protective barrier and contains ridges that provide grasping ability. The dermis is made of connective tissue and contains structures like blood vessels and glands. The deepest layer, the hypodermis, contains fat cells and serves as an energy reserve. Specific attention is given to friction ridge skin, which contains ridges and furrows, and the epidermis layer, consisting of keratinocytes and other cell types that produce keratins important for the structure of ridges.
