Block1/Fig 8. The skin.

block1_22.jpg - Fig 8. The skin. The skin has three main layers: epidermis,dermis and hypodermis, respectively. Epidermis is anouter keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Dermis isan underlying tough supporting and nourishing layer offibroelastic tissue. Hypodermis is a variable deep layer,mainly composed of adipose tissue. It is easy todistinguish, even at this relatively low magnification, thethree layers of the skin. The basic structures of threelayers of the skin are explained in following slides. Dermisof the skin is composed of two layers: the papillary layer(P), loose connective tissue and the reticular layer (R), adense irregular connective tissue.
