It is made up of 3 layers: • Epidermis- Outermost layer; 5 sub-layers, no blood vessels or nerves. • Dermis- Elastic connective tissue, contains blood vessels, nerves, involuntary muscle, sweat glands, & hair follicles. • Subcutaneous fascia (hypodermis)- Innermost layer; made up of elastic & fibrous connective tissue, fatty tissue, and it connects to underlying muscles.

  5. Functions • Protection- Barrier to the suns ultraviolet rays, pathogens & germs. Holds in moisture. • Sensory Perception- The nerves help body to respond to pain, pressure, temperature, and touch sensations. • Body temperature regulation- Blood vessels help body retain or lose heat. • Storage- Tissues are temporary storage for fats, glucose, water, vitamins, and salts.

  6. Functions continued… • Absorption- Substances can be absorbed through the skin, called transdermal medication. • Excretion- Skin eliminates salt, waste, & excess water • Production- Skin helps in the production of Vitamin D using UV rays from the sun.

  7. Pigmentation • Skin color is determined by pigments in the epidermis. • Melanin, a pigment, is produced in the epidermis by melanocytes. • Every person has the same number of melanocytes, racial groups is what determines the amount of melanin produced.
