Thin clear layer of dead skin cells, thickest on palms of hands and soles of feet, this layer also forms our unique fingerprints and footprints. Natural moisturizing substance are created here and are excreted to form components of the skins waterproof barrier function. AKA Microscopic anatomy, the study of the structure and composition of the skin tissue. Cells continue to divide here, contains Langerhans immune cells to help protect the body from infections, by destroying foreign invaders. Outermost layer of the skin, thin protective layer with many nerve endings. Connected to hair follicles, produce sebum. Coiled structures attached to hair follicles found under arms and in genital areas and are sensitive to adrenaline, so cause sweat due to anxiety, stress, fear, etc. Efferent nerve fibers, that stimulate muscles or glands. Found all over the body, primarily on forehead, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet, and are most active during activity or high temperatures. This sweat does not typically produce offensive odor. Fibrous protein that gives skin its ability to stretch and return. Sensation, Protection, Heat Regulation, Excretion, Secretion, Absorption, Protein substance of complex fibers that give skin its strength. True skin, thickest layer, contains collagen, elastin, hair follicles, AKA Horny layer, it is the top, outermost layer, the esthetician works extensively with this layer. Produce sweat, help to regulate body temperature. Afferent nerve fibers, send messages to the central nervous system and brain to react to heat, cold, pressure and pain. AKA Basal layer, in this layer cells go through constant mitosis to replenish skins cells that are regularly shed from the skins surface. Composed of loose connective tissue, AKA adipose tissue. The pigment in skin that protects us from the sun.
