Epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis.
Explanation:
There are three primary layers of skin.
-
The epidermis is the outer layer. It contains cells that produce melanin, which gives the skin its colour.
-
The dermis is the middle layer. It contains connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands.
-
The hypodermis is the most buried layer. It consists mostly of adipose tissue and is the body's main storage area of fat.
