Skin anatomy, illustration
Illustration of a section through human skin. The skin layers include an outer layer of dead skin cells (stratum corneum), below which is the epidermis (A), and then the dermis (B), with the hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue, C) containing fat, at bottom. The dermis contains hair follicles (white, vertical), sebaceous glands (near top of hair follicle), sweat (eccrine) glands (coiled), nerves and blood vessels. From Traite d'Anatomie Humaine, Vol 3 (1905) by French anatomist Leo Testut (1849-1925).
