GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your epidermis is the top layer, and your dermis is the middle layer. Your dermis exists between your epidermis and hypodermis. Your epidermis is the thinnest layer of skin. It helps hydrate your body, produces new skin cells, protects your body from damage and makes melanin, which provides skin color.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dermis, also called the ‘true skin’, is the thickest layer (2-5mm) of skin. It is composed of dense fibrous connective tissue and contains numerous collagenous and elastic fibres (Wysocki, 2000), surrounded by a gelatinous fluid matrix which makes the dermis strong and enables it to stretch.

Detailed explanation-4: -The skin is primarily made up of three layers. The upper layer is the epidermis, the layer below the epidermis is the dermis, and the third and deepest layer is the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and contributes to skin tone.
