The Structure and Function of Skin, Third Edition, explores the comprehensive aspects of skin structure and function, focusing on human skin. It integrates findings from embryology, histology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Key topics include the biological roles of the dermis, histochemical properties of the epidermis, the impact of protein deficiency on hair growth, cutaneous innervation, and the regeneration of nails. Organized into 12 chapters, the book begins with an overview of skin structure and function, followed by an in-depth discussion of the epidermis, including the life cycle of epidermal cells and the roles of various cell types such as melanocytes and Merkel cells. Subsequent chapters address age-related changes in the dermis, cutaneous blood flow, and the dermal nerve network. The text also examines hair growth, the effects of malnutrition on hair morphology, and nail structure and development. A concluding chapter focuses on the cytochemistry and pharmacology of eccrine sweat glands. This resource is tailored for dermatologists, from novices to experts, and is also valuable for biologists interested in biomedical fields.
