DETAIL:

DESCRIPTION:
The skin: The epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is made up
of several layers of cells. The outermost layers are composed of
dead and hardened, or “keratinized,” cells. The layers are water
resistant because of the layers of scale-like cells and the oil
secreted from the sebaceous glands in the deeper dermis. The
deep layers of the epidermis also contain pigmented cells called
melanocytes. These cells absorb ultraviolet light and account
for the color of dark-skinned races. The dermis is the deeper of
the two large subdivisions of the skin and is very dynamic. It
is vascular and contains sweat and oil glands, hair follicles,
and nerves. The main structural element in the dermis is
collagen, a fibrous connective tissue. The fibers of collagen
form a mesh in the dermis. The deepest layer, called the
hypodermis, contains fat and connective tissues as well as blood
vessels. The bands of connective tissue in this layer connect
the dermis with the fascia, a sheet of connective tissue
covering the muscles.
