Description

This detailed 3D microanatomy model presents a cross-sectional view of thick skin. The image vividly depicts the three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis appears highly stratified with a prominent stratum corneum, reflecting its protective role. The underlying dermis contains dense connective tissue, abundant blood vessels, sweat glands, and tactile corpuscles, while the hypodermis consists mostly of adipose tissue and larger vessels. Sensory nerve endings and ducts are intricately shown winding through all layers. This model is ideal for understanding skin structure and functions such as sensation, thermoregulation, and protection.
