Anatomy of Skin
 3 layers of skin

Epidermis Dermis

(Hypodermis)
Subcutaneous fat layer
  EPIDERMIS
 The epidermis is the thin outer layer of the
skin. It consists of 3 types of cells:

• Squamous cells. The outermost layer is

continuously shed is called the stratum
corneum.
• Basal cells. Basal cells are found just under the
squamous cells, at the base of the epidermis.
• Melanocytes. Melanocytes are also found at
the base of the epidermis and make melanin.
This gives the skin its color.
  DERMIS
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. The dermis
contains the following:

• Blood vessels
• Lymph vessels
• Hair follicles
• Sweat glands
  DERMIS
• Collagen bundles
• Fibroblasts
• Nerves
• Sebaceous glands

The dermis is held together by a protein called collagen.

This layer gives skin flexibility and strength. The dermis
also contains pain and touch receptors.
  HYPODERMIS (subcutaneous fat
layer)

• The subcutaneous fat layer is the

deepest layer of skin. It consists
of a network of collagen and fat
cells. It helps conserve the
body's heat and protects the
body from injury by acting as a
shock absorber.
