The skin is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). Each layer plays a distinct role in maintaining skin health and function. The epidermis is the outermost layer responsible for waterproofing and protecting against environmental damage. The dermis contains blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, and sweat glands, providing structural support and sensation. The hypodermis consists of fat and connective tissue, serving as an insulator and energy reserve.
