The epidermis, dermis, and a layer of fat; the epidermis is on the outside of the skin. This kind of skin gradually moves toward the surface. The dermis is the inner layer and it has tissues and structures, such as * Connective tissue * Elastic fibers * Capillaries * Muscle fibers * Sensory cells * Nerve fibers * Pigment cells (produce Melanin) * Sweat glands * Hair follicles * Sebaceous glands Below all of that is the layer of fat. It varies on size everywhere on the body depending on the person.
Identifying skin changes and limb swelling The skin is often referred to as the largest body organ and serves as the main protective barrier to prevent damage to internal tissues from trauma, ultraviolet light, temperature variations, toxins and bacteria. Each component of the skin has a role to play in protecting the body. The skin consists of two main layers, the epidermis or outer layer and the dermis which lies beneath the epidermis. Collagen and elastin are major components of the skin; they help to give support, strength and elasticity to the skin. As we age individual components within the skin decline in a variety of ways and the skin is less able to function normally.
STAGE 3 The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater. There may be no pain at this stage due to nerve damage. The risk of tissue death and infection are high. STAGE 4 Pressure sores progress, with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones). Serious complications, such as osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or sepsis (infection carried through the blood) can occur.

b. He internal environment of our bodies must have certain conditions within tolerable limits to continue the healthy functioning of us. c. Our skin plays a serious role in homeostasis by keeping a level body temperature as to not damage our internal organs, it absorbs sunlight and other nutrients we need, it also excretes things that we no longer need such as waste and maintains the temperature by sweating to cool our bodies.
