In terms of tissue layers, the skin is composed of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. It is the dermis that is the thickest layer. The hypodermis is also associated with the skin but is not considered an actual part of the skin. The skin and all its associated hairs, glands, and nerves are called the integumentary system.
