Definitions:

Hypodermis

Also known as the subcutaneous layer, this is the innermost layer of the skin, containing fat and connective tissue to provide insulation and cushioning.

Epidermis

The outermost layer of skin, acting as a barrier against environmental threats.

Apocrine Sweat Glands

Specialized sweat glands that usually open into hair follicles, found primarily in the underarms and genital area, secreting a milky sweat that can produce body odor when broken down by bacteria.

Eccrine Sweat Glands

These are responsible for producing sweat to help cool the body and are found throughout most of the body's skin.
