Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ... are the--Ducts of the sweat-glands. Hair-follicles, --into which most of the sebaceous ducts open. Ducts of the sebaceous glands, occasionally. What is the Structure of the Epidermis? It is an unorganized epithelial structure, having no vessels or nerves. The cells of which it is composed are developed in the liquor sanguinis which is exuded on (he upper surface of the derma. They are flat and dry on the surface, round and sifter in the central portion, columnar and softest in the deepest layer. Rete Mucosum, --is the lowest portion of the epidermis. It contains pigment cells, giving color to the skin. Describe the Structure of the Derma. The true skin is a highly organized, tough yet elastic tissue, and serves to protect the parts beneath, to perform the functions of excretion and absorption, and as the chief seat of the sense of touch. It consists of fibro-arcolar tissue, vessels and nerves. The--Papillary Layer, --situated next to the rete mucosum, is covered with minute conical elevations (papille), rJff inch high 3i0-inch in diameter at their base, very numerous and arranged in parallel curved lines wherever sensibility is greatest. Each papilla contains a capillary loop or plexus, the termination of one or more sensory nerves, --and in highly sensitive parts, an oval-shaped body, the tactile corpuscles. Corium, --the lower layer of the derma, is composed chiefly of interlacing bundles of white fibrous tissue, in which are mingled some yellow elastic fibres, also plain muscular fibres wherever hairs are found, --and lymphatic vessels, blood-vessels and nerves, in plexiform arrangement. Describe the Nails. They are flat, horny structures, a modification of the epidermis, molded upon the derma at the dorsal surface of the terminal phalanges of both fingers
