Stratum corneum
Stratum basale
Dermis
Hypodermis
ExplanationThe stratum basale is the deepest layer of the epidermis where melanocytes reside and cell division (mitosis) occurs.
Regulating sweat production
Producing sebum
Causing hair to stand upright in response to cold or emotion
Connecting the epidermis to the dermis
ExplanationThe arrector pili is a small smooth muscle attached to the hair follicle that contracts, causing 'goosebumps'.
Parietal bone
Frontal bone
Temporal bone
Occipital bone
ExplanationThe frontal bone constitutes the forehead and the superior portion of the orbits of the eyes.
Orbicularis oris
Masseter
Buccinator
Temporalis
ExplanationThe buccinator muscle is a thin, flat muscle of the cheek that compresses the cheeks against the teeth.
Transporting oxygen to skin cells
Regulating hormone production that influences sebum and skin conditions
Filtering waste products from the epidermis
Controlling voluntary facial expressions
ExplanationThe endocrine system releases hormones, such as androgens, which directly affect oil production and skin cell renewal.
Reticular layer
Hypodermis
Papillary layer
Stratum granulosum
ExplanationThe papillary layer is the upper dermal region that provides nutrients to the epidermis via dermal papillae.
Producing new skin cells
Carrying away waste products and toxins from the tissue
Producing sebum for skin hydration
Conducting nerve impulses to the brain
ExplanationThe lymphatic system assists in the detoxification process and helps remove interstitial fluid and cellular waste.
Facial nerve (VII)
Trigeminal nerve (V)
Vagus nerve (X)
Accessory nerve (XI)
ExplanationThe trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) is responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing.
Perspiration
Sebum
Melanin
Collagen
ExplanationSebaceous glands secrete sebum, an oily substance that acts as a natural lubricant and barrier for the skin.
Smooth muscle
Cardiac muscle
Striated (skeletal) muscle
Involuntary muscle
ExplanationStriated muscles are voluntary and are responsible for all movements of the head, neck, and face.
Stratum granulosum
Stratum lucidum
Subcutaneous layer
Papillary layer
ExplanationThe subcutaneous layer (hypodermis) consists mainly of fat cells (adipose tissue) which provide cushioning and insulation.
Trigeminal nerve
Facial nerve
Optic nerve
Glossopharyngeal nerve
ExplanationThe seventh cranial nerve, or facial nerve, is the primary motor nerve responsible for controlling the muscles of facial expression.
