FIG 1:  DRAWING OF THE SKIN

   

FIG 2:  SLIDE OF EPIDERMIS AND DERMIS The epidermis is composed of 5 sublayers and the dermis is composed of 2 sublayers, the papillary layer and the reticular layer.

 

FIG 3:  SUBLAYERS OF THE  EPIDERMIS STRATUM CORNEUM STRATUM LUCIDUM STRATUM GRANULOSUM STRATUM SPINOSUM STRATUM BASALE

 
 

FIG 4:  SUBLAYERS OF THE EPIDERMIS Notice that the slide to the right lacks a stratum lucidum.  Remember, that sublayer is found only in the palms of the hand and soles of the feet and is seen in the slide to the far right. This layer can be seen in the two slides below. SC= STRATUM CORNEUM SGR= STRATUM GRANULOSUM SS=  STRATUM SPINOSUM SG= STRATUM BASALE

 

FIG 5:  SEBACEOUS GLANDS (OIL GLANDS)

 
 

FIG 6:  SUDORIFEROUS GLANDS

 

 

FIG 7:  MEISSNER'S CORPUSCLE This receptor is important in detecting light touch.

   

FIG 8:  PACINIAN CORPUSCLE This receptor detects deep touch.

FIG 9:  LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF A HAIR FOLLICLE The 2 layers of the root sheath are epithelial in nature, while the dermal sheath is composed of connective tissue.   The function of the papilla is to provide nourishment to the hair.
