65
Q

Two main portions of the skin

A

Epidermis-superficial thinner portion of epithelial tissue, avascular
Dermis-deeper, thicker made up of connective tissue; vascular

66
Q

What is deep to the skin but not apart of it that consists of areolar and adipose tissues, responsible for touch sensors called?

A

Subcutaneous tissue or hypodermis contains lamellar (pacinian) corpuscles that are senstive to touch

67
Q

What type of cell is the epidermis composed of?

A

Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
