the outer layer of the skin, forms the protective covering of the body. It is thinnest on the eyelids and thickest on the palms of the hands. The epidermis is also the nonsensitive layer of the skin and has neither a blood supply nor a nerve supply (avascular). It is dependent on the dermis’ network of capillaries for nourishment.
the epidermis
the inner layer of the skin, is rich with blood vessels (vascular), nerve endings, sebaceous (oil) and sudoriferous (sweat) glands, and hair follicles. The subcutaneous tissue, which lies just beneath the dermis, binds the dermis to underlying structures. The main functions of the subcutaneous tissue are to protect the tissues and organs underneath it and to prevent heat loss.
