GlossarySkin Appendages

structures like hair, nails, and glands originating from skin

Skin appendages are structures that develop from the skin and include hair, nails, sweat glands, and sebaceous (oil) glands. These appendages play various roles such as protecting the body, regulating temperature, and facilitating sensory perception. For example, hair helps with insulation, while sweat glands are crucial for cooling the body through perspiration.
