The anatomy, physiology and function of all skin layers and the impact of ageing on the skin

Abstract

Comprehensively understanding the structure, physiology and function of the skin can help us identify skin conditions, comprehend wound healing mechanisms and explore new prevention and treatment strategies for skin disroders. This short review describes the structure, composition and different cell types that make up the skin, and discusses the functions of the skin and the impact of ageing on skin structure.
