The human skin is made up of three basic layers ; the epidermis (outer layer), the dermis(middle layer) beneath the epidermis and the subcutaneous layer beneath the dermis. The subcutaneous layers are fat cells and connective tissue that carry the blood vessels and nerves. It is located below the epidermis and the dermis, in that order, and is the third and final layer and consists primarily of loose connective tissue and lobules of fat.
