    found in the dermis, secrete the oil sebum
  • Sweat Glands
    also called sudoriferous glands, found through the body
  • Apocrine Glands
    in the pubic and underarm areas that secrete a thicker sweat
  • Epidermis
    Most superficial layer of skin. Replaced every 4-6 weeks

  • Sebaceous Glands
    Ducts that empty into hair follicles, excreting oily substances.
    Ducts that empty into hair follicles, excreting oily substances.
  • Sebum
    The product of sebaceous glands. It is a mixture of oily substances and fragmented cells that acts as a lubricant to keep the skin soft and moist.
  • Eccrine Glands
    These glands produce sweat.
    These glands produce sweat.
  • Apocrine Glands
    Secrete milky protein that acts as a nutrient medium for the microorganisms found on the skin.
    Secrete milky protein that acts as a nutrient medium for the microorganisms found on the skin.
  • Keratin
    Fibrous protein that is responsible for the strength and water resistance of the skin surface.
  • Collagen
    A protein that is a main constituent of connective tissue.
  • Melanin
    A natural pigment that protects the cells in the skin and in deeper layers from the hazardous effects of UV radiation by absorbing sunlight.
  • Hypodermis
    Layer of the skin made up of connective tissue and fat that acts as insulation and padding for the skin.
  • Pore
    Made:Tiny openings on top of skin with sweat and oil glands Function: Let sweat and oil come out of skin.
  • Erector Pilli/Arrector Pilli
    Made:Muscles attached to hair Function:makes the hair on a person's arm stand up to keep them warm
  • Nerve
    Made:Sensory receptors Variety of nerve receptors Function:Sense change and information about outside environment
  • Adipose tissue (fat molecule)
    Made:fat Function:Insulate the body from heat and cold provides padding an energy storage area
