Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cutis is the combined term for the epidermis and the dermis, the two outer layers of the skin. The subcutis is the layer below the cutis. Sweat pores are contained in the cutis, along with other organs, while hair follicles are contained in the subcutis, along with sweat glands and nerves.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “cutis laxa” is Latin for loose or lax skin, and this condition is characterized by skin that is sagging and not stretchy (inelastic). The skin often hangs in loose folds, causing the face and other parts of the body to have a droopy or wrinkled appearance.
