(subcutaneous)

Epidermis
1. Epidermis – outer, thinnest layer.a. The outermost cells are dead and water
repellent.b. New cells are produced at the base and
move up to replace ones rubbed off.

Epidermisc. Melanin – a pigment that protects your skin
and gives it color (located in the epidermis). When skin is exposed to UV rays, melanin production increases and your skin becomes darker.

function properly.

Epidermis Your skin is the largest organ of
your body. It is also your largest sensory organ.
STOP, PAUSE….Take a DEEP
BREATHYou just breathed in dead
skin cells from your neighbor! Dead dermis cells make up a large
portion of ‘dust’.

Dermis
2. Dermis – Located directly below the epidermis.
a. Contains blood vessels, nerves, muscle, oil, sweat glands, and other structures.

Major Functions Your skin carries out several major
functions.
1. Protection

Major Functions2. Sensory organs3. Formation of Vitamin D
a. Produced in presence of UV light.b. Essential for good health.c. Helps body absorb calcium into blood.

Injuries and Repair1. Bruises
a. Tiny blood vessels below the skin burst.b. Color goes away after pigments breakdown
and reenter the blood stream.

forms.c. Skin cells divide and grow under scab until
healed.
