Skin tissue

Your skin has three layers that each serves an important purpose. Though you cannot see it, the innermost layer is composed of subcutaneous tissue, an all-important insulator that regulates your body's temperature and protects your insides.

Epithelial tissues serve many purposes such as protection, secretion, absorbs, and filters what goes through cavities. There are many types of epithelial tissues, such as the epidermis (which is the outer layer of the skin). Epithelial tissues protects the body from bacteria. The epithelial tissues actually removes dust that is ingested during respiration. WOW! Note worthy!

This image depicts a histological slide of actual skin tissue. The skin is noticeably thicker in this image as seen with the thick layered epidermis. Notice the dermal papillae interlocking with the darker stained epidermal ridges. The dermis is marked by its dense irregular tissue and the hypodermis is clearly visible with its loosely organized adipose tissue. The vasculature towards the bottom of the dermis and beginning of the hypsdermis is seen as large circular structures with white…
