The epidermis - it is the outer layer of skin and it contains 5 layers. From bottom to top the layers are:
- stratum basale
- stratum spinosum
- stratum granulosum
- stratum licidum
- stratum corneum
The dermis which contains two layers:
- The upper, papillary layer
- The lower, reticular layer
The fat cells are found in the adipose tissue which may develop anywhere, like around internal organs and in the bone marrow but tends to accumulate beneath the skin.
