Slide 80 - Thin skin. So called because its epithelium is thin.  Again, the epithelium is stratified squamous, but it has a much thinner cornified layer.  This section is from skin covering the general body surface.  Which of the layers you saw in thick epidermis seems(s) to be missing here?

In the dermis, as before, look for sweat glands, nerves, blood vessels, loose and dense connective tissue, and possible sensory endings.  In addition, there are hairs in thin skin, with their accompanying sebaceous glands.  In this monkey there are dense deposits of black pigment scattered through the dermis.

Does your section include the hypodermis?  (i.e., is there evidence of subcutaneous fat?)

What is meant by merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine secretion?

What is the difference between eccrine and apocrine sweat glands?

If you were to cut your skin, how would it be repaired?  Where do the new connective tissue fibers come from?  Where would the new epithelial cells originate?
