 SKIN
• The skin is the body's largest organ, made of
water, protein, fats and minerals.

2
 FUNCTIONS

Provides a protective barrier against

mechanical, thermal and physical injury
and hazardous substances. Prevents loss
of moisture. Reduces harmful effects of
UV radiation. Acts as a sensory organ
(touch, detects temperature).

 LAYER’S

DERMIS
EPIDERMIS
HYPODERMIS

4
 EPIDERMIS
epidermis is the outermost layer of skin on
your body. It protects your body from
harm, keeps your body hydrated, produces
new skin cells and contains melanin, which
determines the color of your skin.

5
 Stratum corneum

This layer consists of fats that keep water

from easily entering or leaving your
body. The corneocytes eventually shed as
new keratinocyte cells develop in the
stratum basale layer and move through
the other layers of skin.
6
 STRATUM LUCIDUM

The stratum lucidum is a thin,

transparent layer of keratinocytes
that are becoming less round and
have a flatter shape.

7
STRATUM GRANULOSUM

Keratinocytes have granules

within them, and in this
layer they’re visible under a
microscope.
8
 STRATUM SPINOSUM

This layer mostly consists of

keratinocytes held together by
sticky proteins called desmosomes
(dez-mo-soam). The stratum
spinosum helps make your skin
flexible and strong.
9
 STRATUM BASALE

New skin cells develop in this

layer, and it also contains the
keratinocyte (cur-at-in-o-site)
stem cells, which produce the
protein keratin. Keratin helps
form hair, nails and your skin’s
outer layer, which protect you
from the harsh environment.
10
 DERMIS
The inner layer of the two main layers of the skin.
The dermis has connective tissue, blood vessels,
oil and sweat glands, nerves, hair follicles, and
other structures. It is made up of a thin upper layer
called the papillary dermis, and a thick lower layer
called the reticular dermis. Enlarge.

11
 PAPILLARY DERMIS

The thin top layer of the dermis

(the inner layer of the skin). The
papillary dermis has connective
tissue and blood vessels that give
nutrients to the epidermis (the
outer layer of the skin) and that
help control the temperature of
the skin. 12
 RETICULAR DERMIS

The thick bottom layer of the

dermis (the inner layer of the
skin). The reticular dermis has
blood vessels and connective
tissue that supports the skin.
Hair follicles, oil and sweat
glands, and other structures are
also found in the reticular 13

dermis.
 HYPODERMIS
The hypodermis is the bottom layer of skin in your
body. It has many important functions, including
storing energy, connecting the dermis layer of your
skin to your muscles and bones, insulating your
body and protecting your body from harm. As you
age, your hypodermis decreases in size, and your
skin starts to sag.

 MARCELLO MALPIGHI
Marcello Malpighi, (born March 10, 1628, Crevalcore, near
Bologna, Papal States [Italy]—died Nov. 30, 1694, Rome),
Italian physician and biologist who, in developing
experimental methods to study living things, founded the
science of microscopic anatomy. After Malpighi’s researches,
microscopic anatomy became a prerequisite for advances in
the fields of physiology, embryology, and practical medicine.
