1. Epidermis. This outer (superficial) layer of skin, composed of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, derives from embryonic surface ectoderm. It is avascular, receiving nourishment from vessels in the underlying dermis. Its only innervation (nerve supply) is by unencapsulated (free) nerve endings.
The subcutaneous layer below the dermis consists of loose connective tissue and much fat. It acts as a protective cushion and helps to insulate the body by monitoring heat gain and heat loss. Not all authors consider this layer a part of the skin, but it definitely has a strong impact on the way the skin looks.
