Sweat glands help regulate body temperature by producing sweat, which cools the body when it evaporates.

The dermis is the middle layer of skin that contains connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.

The outermost layer of the skin is called the epidermis.

Hair follicles are responsible for producing hair and are involved in the growth cycle of hair.

The hair shaft is the visible part of the hair that extends above the skin surface.

Nerve endings in the skin are responsible for sensing touch, pressure, pain, and temperature.

The hypodermis, also known as subcutaneous tissue, is the layer of fat and connective tissue beneath the dermis.

The arrector pili muscle contracts to make hair stand up, which can help with insulation and is responsible for 'goosebumps'.

Pacinian corpuscles are specialized nerve endings that detect deep pressure and vibration.

Meissner's corpuscles are sensitive to light touch and are found in the upper dermis.
