Glossary Dorsal Skin

skin on the back of an organism

Dorsal skin refers to the skin located on the back of an organism, including humans. It is typically thicker and less sensitive than the skin on the front of the body, providing protection and support. This area is also rich in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which play a role in thermoregulation and skin health.
