The first Image shows the layers of the epidermis in Thick part of the skin. We can find these on the palm of our hands and the soles of our feet. The Epidermis is compose of six layers. These are Stratum corneum, Stratum lucidum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum, Stratum basale, and the Dermis. The stratum lucidum layer is only found in think skin and not in thin skin.
The second picture is the longitudinal section of hair root. It is where we can find the Matrix, Medulla, and Cortex. Also the surrounding epithelial and connective tissue sheaths.
The third one is the Sebaceous* gland. It secreted oil mixture of lipids called SEBUM. This oil helps in maintaining the stratum corneum and the hair shaft. It also has weak antibacterial and antifungal property.
