he skin is made up of three distinct layers.
The top layer is called the epidermis. (The word epidermis, and the name of the other main skin layer, the dermis.
The second layer lies deeper and is called the dermis. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair roots and sweat glands.
Below the dermis lies a layer of fat, the subcutaneous fat. The depth of this layer differs from one person to another. It contains larger blood vessels and nerves, and is made up of clumps of fat-filled cells called adipose cells.
The subcutaneous fat lies on the muscles and bones, to which the whole skin structure is attached by connective tissues. The attachment is quite loose, so the skin can move fairly freely.

It is called subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis (which is the part of skin that you see) has 5 layers. The dermis (which is below the epidermis) has 2 layers and the subcutaneous tissue (which contains blood vessles, sweat glands and fat) connects it all to your body.

-the epidermis is the outermost layer
-the basal cell layer is the innermost layer of the epidermis
-the squamous cell layer is located above the basal cell layer
-the stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis , is made up of 10-30 layers of continually shedding, dead keratinocytes
-the dermis is located beneath the epidermis and is the thickest of the three layers of the skin, this layer regulates temperature

Epithelial is the outer, then subcutaneous.
