    GlossarySkin Morphology

    structure and form of skin layers and cells

    Skin morphology refers to the structure and form of the skin, including its layers, cells, and overall appearance. For a layperson, it means understanding how the skin looks and is built, from the outermost layer (epidermis) to the deeper layers (dermis and subcutaneous tissue). For professionals, it involves studying the microscopic and macroscopic features of the skin to diagnose conditions, understand skin functions, and develop treatments.
