The dermis is the tough fibrous layer of the skin lying between the epidermis and the subcutaneous tissues. It consists of a variable type of fibrous connective tissue which cushions the body from stress and strain. Also‚ the dermis provides tensile strength and elasticity to the skin through its dermal fibres (collagen‚ reticular‚ and elastic fibres) that are embedded in an extrafibrillar matrix [72‚ 73]. The dermis is approximately 15 to 40 times thicker than the epidermis and can be further divided

11. Identify the four basic types of tissues and the functions of each tissue type. There are four different types of tissue. They are; nerve‚ epithelial‚ connective‚ and muscle. The nerve tissue is made up of neurons that receive and transmit electrical impulses‚ this is their function. There are several different types of epithelial tissue. First there is simple squamous epithelium tissue. This is a single layer of cells that is in the lining of blood vessels‚ the lining of the pulmonary alveoli

This substance is waterproof and flexible it has three layers to it. They all work together to keep all your organs and tissues inside your body it also keeps infection‚ viruses and bacteria out of your inside of your body. In your skin cells there are little thing to tell the cell what to do. There is a nucleus is the control center

human skin contains the epidermis‚ which is the farthest layer of skin‚ it provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone. The dermis‚ beneath the epidermis‚ contains tough connective tissue‚ hair follicles‚ and sweat glands. The deeper subcutaneous tissue‚ which is the hypodermis‚ is made of fat and connective tissue. In the the epidermis most of the cells are keratinocytes‚ they come from the deepest layer of the epidermis and with time makes its way to the surface of the epidermis. Keratinocytes
