Natural moisturizing substance are created here and are excreted to form components of the skins waterproof barrier function. True skin, thickest layer, contains collagen, elastin, hair follicles, AKA Basal layer, in this layer cells go through constant mitosis to replenish skins cells that are regularly shed from the skins surface. Afferent nerve fibers, send messages to the central nervous system and brain to react to heat, cold, pressure and pain. Produce sweat, help to regulate body temperature. Protein substance of complex fibers that give skin its strength. Sensation, Protection, Heat Regulation, Excretion, Secretion, Absorption, AKA Microscopic anatomy, the study of the structure and composition of the skin tissue. Fibrous protein that gives skin its ability to stretch and return. Study of the functions and activities of the skin. AKA Horny layer, it is the top, outermost layer, the esthetician works extensively with this layer. 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. Composed of loose connective tissue, AKA adipose tissue. 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. Outermost layer of the skin, thin protective layer with many nerve endings. The pigment in skin that protects us from the sun. 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. Connected to hair follicles, produce sebum.
