contains adipose tissue	subcutaneous layer
layer of skin that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and sensory recepters	dermis
epidermal layer that forms the bathtub ring	stratum corneum
layer underneath the epidermis	dermis
layer of epidermis that continuously produces millions of cells every day	stratum germinativum
a protein in the skin that flattens, hardens, and makes the skin water-resistant	keratin
surface layer of the epidermis that makes up most of the epidermal thickness	stratum corneum
layer that insulates the body from extreme temperature changes and anchors the skin to the underlying structures	subcutaneous layer
hypodermis	subcutaneous layer
another name for the skin	integument
desquamation and exfoliation refer to this epidermal layer	stratum germinativum
another name for the cutaneous membrane	integument
this epidermal layer forms corns and calluses	stratum corneum
