What to Focus On

  • Skin protects the body in four ways: mechanical shock, water loss prevention, germ entry prevention, and UV protection.
  • Skin is a sense organ for touch, pain, pressure, heat, and cold.
  • Skin helps in temperature regulation.
  • Epidermis is the outer thinner layer.
  • Dermis is the inner thick layer.
  • Epidermis has no blood vessels.
  • Epidermis has three sublayers: cornified, granular, and malpighian.
  • Cornified layer is tough and protective.
  • Malpighian layer is the dividing layer.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The epidermis contains blood vessels and supplies blood to the outer skin surface.

The malpighian layer is the tough outer protective layer of the epidermis.

Melanin is found in the cornified layer and only gives skin its colour.
