Skin Cross Section

The Skin cross-section here seen comes from a microscopic section of human skin, showing in a high level of detail and resolution the different layers of the skin with their relationships to each other. Cut-away areas of the model allow for easy identification of layers and how they interrelate in this image. Features of the sectioned skin here seen include:

- Epidermis (composed of the stratum corneum, the stratum granulosm, and the stratum spinosum) - Dermis - Subcutaneous tissue - Eccrine sweat glands - Arterial, venous, and nervous supply - Hair (including shaft, inner and outer root sheaths, papillae, erector pili muscles, and sebaceous glands)
