What are the three main layers of the skin, from superficial to deep? Which layer is not considered to be a "true" part of the integumentary system? What are the names of the two types of sweat glands, and what is the main difference between the two? What specific tissue (3 words) makes up the epidermis? What is characteristic of this tissue type? From superficial to deep, list the five layers of the epidermis. Which layer of the epidermis is only present in thick skin? Why? What is the most abundant cell type in the epidermis? What substance do they produce and why? What are the two layers of the dermis and what is their function? Which two types of connective tissue make up the hypodermis? What are the main functions of these tissues?
