Review: Physiology and Structure of the Skin

by Richard Mitchell, MD, PhD

A clear understanding of skin physiology and structure forms a critical foundation for both basic science and clinical medicine. Prior knowledge of cell biology and basic tissue types is essential for comprehending the complex interactions between the skin's various layers and components.

The integration of structural and functional aspects of the skin directly impacts the understanding of dermatological conditions, wound healing, and systemic diseases that manifest through cutaneous symptoms. This knowledge proves indispensable not only for dermatology but across multiple medical specialties, as the skin often provides vital diagnostic clues for various systemic disorders.
