-Skin color determined by- melanin, yellow orange tones of the pigment
carotene, red purple tones in the underlying vascular bed
Dermis Correct Answers -Connective tissue or collagen - tough, fibrous

receptors, blood vessels, and lymphatic's lie in the dermis- hair follicles,
sebaceous glands, sweat
Subcutaneous layer Correct Answers Adipose tissue made up of lobules
of fat cells - stores fat for energy, provides insulation for temperature
control, and aids in protection by its soft cushioning effect
, Sebaceous glands Correct Answers Secret sebum, secreted through the
hair follicles- lubricates the skin and hair and forms an emulsion with
water that retards water loss from the skin- located everywhere except
on the palms and soles

Eccrine Correct Answers Open directly onto the skin surface and
produces sweat, evaporation of sweat reduces body temperatures
Apocrine Correct Answers Thick, milky secretion and open into the hair
follicles- secretion occurs with emotional and sexual stimulations which
created a musky body odor
Function of the skin Correct Answers -Protection
-Prevents penetrations
-Perception
