There are three layers of skin:
1. Epidermis
It’s the topmost layer of the skin. It makes new cells and sheds the old cells continuously. It gives the skin it’s color due to the pigment is known as- Melanin. The epidermis has a special cell, the Langerhans cells, which work to protect us as part of our immune system & helps us stay healthy
2. Dermis
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. It has sweat glands, which opens as pores and lets the toxins out of the system, as well as helps us cool off during hot summers. Dermis has nerve endings, which helps us feel things by the touch. It makes oil via oil glands deep in the dermis. The oil keeps skin soft & smooth. But when these glands make too much oil it gives pimples. It contains blood vessels that supply the skin.
3. Subcutaneous fat
The bottom layer of skin is the subcutaneous fat layer. It connects dermis to the bone & muscles. It helps to control the body temperature by storing fat. This fat pads the muscles and bones, which protects from injuries especially from falls.
