Question

identify the structures in the diagram above.
dermis choose
sebaceous gland choose
sweat gland duct choose
touch/pressure receptor choose
arrector pili muscle choose

Explanation:

1. Dermis: This is the middle layer of skin, labeled as region B in the diagram, located between the epidermis (A) and hypodermis (C).
2. Sebaceous Gland: This gland is associated with hair follicles, secreting sebum, and is labeled as M, connected to the hair follicle (O).
3. Sweat Gland Duct: This is the tube that carries sweat from the sweat gland to the skin surface, labeled as A, leading up to the epidermis.
4. Touch/Pressure Receptor: The Pacinian corpuscle, a deep pressure receptor, is labeled as J in the lower dermis/hypodermis area.
5. Arrector Pili Muscle: This small muscle attaches to hair follicles, labeled as N, which contracts to make hair stand upright.
6. Hypodermis/Subcutaneous Layer: This is the deepest layer of skin, labeled as C, composed of fat and connective tissue.

Answer:

Dermis: B
Sebaceous Gland: M
Sweat Gland Duct: A
Touch/Pressure Receptor: J
Arrector Pili Muscle: N
Hypodermis/Subcutaneous Layer: C
