Structure of the skin

- Largest organ in the body
- 20% of human weigth
- 0.3 – 0.4 mm thick
- Made up of 3 principal
layers
- Epidermis
- Dermis
- Hypodermis

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM

EPIDERMIS
• Outermost layer of the skin
• Stratified squamous epithelial tissue
• Avascular in strcuture
• 4 types of cells
– Keratinocytes
– Melanocytes
– Langerhan Cells
– Merkel Cells

- 90 % of epidermal cells.
- Produce protein known as
keratin
Melanocytes
- 8% of epidermal cell
- Produce group of pigments ,
melanin
Langerhans cells
- Play a role in immune response

the underlying bones and muscle

• Consist mainly of connective tissue and

adipose cell
