The Structure of the Skin

Hairs grouped on the skin's surface provide insulation and sensory input.

 

The cornified and basal layers of the epidermis provide protection.

 

Beneath them lies the dermis, rich in nerves and blood vessels, containing the hair follicles and their glands, and held together by-tough elastic tissue.
