Epidermis: the outer layer of cells covering an organism.
Melanin: a dark brown to black pigment occurring in the hair, skin, and iris of the eye in people and animals. It is responsible for tanning of skin exposed to sunlight.
Dermis: the thick layer of living tissue below the epidermis that forms the true skin, containing blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, and other structures.
Sweat Glands: a small gland that secretes sweat, situated in the dermis of the skin. Such glands are found over most of the body, and have a simple coiled tubular structure.
Oil Glands: a glades as of the skin that produces an oily substance.
thicker:dermis
thinner:epidermis
blood vessels: a tubular structure carrying blood through the tissues and organs; a vein, artery, or capillary.
nerve endings:it brings information from the body's periphery toward the brain. They function as cutaneous receptors and are essentially used by vertebrates to detect pain.
fatty layer: tissue lies immediately below the dermis of vertebrate skin. It is often referred to as subcutaneous tissue though this is a less precise and anatomically inaccurate term.
ultraviolet: having a wavelength shorter than that of the violet end of the visible spectrum but longer than that of X-rays.
vitamin D: any of a group of vitamins found in liver and fish oils, essential for the absorption of calcium and the prevention of rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults
protection:the action of protecting someone or something, or the state of being protected.
sensory response: is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body
bruises: an injury appearing as an area of discolored skin on the body, caused by a blow or impact rupturing underlying blood vessels.
