The skin, the largest organ in the body, is
composed of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis,
the outer layer, is made of stratified epithelial tissue. The
dermis, the inner layer, is made of
primarily collagen and fibrous connective tissue. Between the
two layers lies the basement membrane, which is composed of glycoproteins,
mucopolysaccharides, and collagen fibers.
