    GlossarySkin Tissue (Dermal Tissue)

    outermost protective layer of the body

    Skin tissue, also known as cutaneous tissue, is the body's largest organ and serves as a protective barrier against environmental hazards. It consists of three primary layers: the epidermis (outer layer), dermis (middle layer), and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer). These layers work together to protect internal organs, regulate temperature, and provide sensory information.
