The document summarizes the structure and functions of the skin. It describes the three main layers of skin - the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer and acts as a protective barrier. Underneath is the dermis, which contains hair follicles, sweat glands, and blood vessels. The deepest layer is the hypodermis, which provides insulation and fat storage. The skin serves important protective, sensory, regulatory, and synthetic functions for the body.
