It is the layer in charge of; giving the skin its color through the use of melanin, building new skin cells which happen at the bottom of the epidermis and guarding the skin using special cells which are part of the immune systems.DermisIt is the interior layer that deals with the following; carrying blood to the skin using little tubes known as blood vessels, manufacturing oil that keeps the skin even, lenient and impermeable, producing sweat by use of sweat glands and comes out through the pores. Sweat is essential in getting rid of bad stuff that the body doesn’t need and also in keeping the skin cool. The dermis also deals with the function of growing hair which helps during cold seasons or when afraid.Subcutaneous fatIt is the bottom layer of the skin which plays a vital role in the body by; monitoring the temperature of the body, keeping fat and joining the dermis to the bones and muscles.
