  1. The epidermis is the epithelial tissue layer of skin.

    Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands are epithelial invaginations from the epidermis.

    The dermis is the connective tissue layer of skin.  

    Embedded within the dermis are hair follicles and sweat glands as well as blood vessels and sensory nerve endings.

    Beneath the skin lies the hypodermis -- connective tissue which may be adipose or fibrous, depending on location.  The transition from dermis to hypodermis is irregular and poorly defined; there is no "boundary".  


  2. The skin is the outer covering of living tissue of an animal (or plant). It is the largest organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues.
