Skin is a tissue membrane which consists of layers of epithelial
and connective tissues. The outer layer of the skin’s epithelial tissue is the
epidermis and the inner layer of connective tissue is the dermis. A basement
membrane that is anchored to the dermis separates these two layers. The
epidermis and dermis rest on a supportive layer of connective tissue and fat
cells called the hypodermis. This supportive layer is flexible and allows the
skin to move and bend while the fat cells cushion against injury and excessive
heat loss.
