Hairs are produced within organ called?
Hairs are produced within an organ called the hair follicle, which is located in the dermis layer of the skin. Each hair follicle contains the necessary structures for hair growth, such as the root, bulb, and papilla.
Which gland produces sweat?
There are two kinds of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine glands are the most widespread and function in evaporative cooling. Apocrine glands are concentrated in the axillary and pubic regions. In many animals, apocrine glands produce secretions containing pheromones.
Free nerve endings within the dermis?
Thermoreceptors
What is the function of the dermis and what layers are contained within the dermis?
Dermis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchThis article is about the layer of skin. For the website, see DermIS (Dermatology Information System).DermisLatindermis; coriumCodeTH H3.12.00.1.03001 A graphic representation of the interface between skin epithelium and the underlying connective tissue. Zone B, indicating the region of overlapping projections of epithelium and connective tissue, is the papillary dermis. Zone C, indicating the region of dermis that lies immediately subjacent to the interdigitations of epithelium, is the reticular dermis.The dermis is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. It is divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis.[1] The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis through a basement membrane. Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix (previously called ground substance).[2] It also contains Mechanoreceptors that provide the sense of touch and heat, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. Those blood vessels provide nourishment and waste removal for both dermal and epidermal cells.Components of the DermisThe dermis is composed of three major types of cells[3]: Fibroblasts, Macrophages, and Adipocytes. Apart from these cells, the dermis is also composed of matrix components such as collagen (which provides strength), elastin (which provides elasticity), the epidermis, and glycosaminoglycans.[3]LayersStratum papillareThe papillary region is composed of loose areolar connective tissue. This is named for its fingerlike projections called papillae, that extend toward the epidermis and contain either terminal networks of blood capillaries or tactile Meissner's corpuscles.[4] Stratum reticulareThe reticular region lies under the papillary region and is usually much thicker. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, and receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers that weave throughout it. These protein fibers give the dermis its properties of strength, extensibility, and elasticity. Also located within the reticular region are the roots of the hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, receptors, nails, and blood vessels.

What does it mean if your test results were atypia at the dermo-epidermal junction and within the dermis accompanied by lymphocytes and melanophages?
I think you mean macrophages, not melanophages. The upper layer of your skin is called the epidermis(epi=above or outside.) The epidermis is more of just the tough outer layer of skin that serves as a protective layer. The layer of skin that is below the epidermis is the dermis. The dermo-epidermal junction (a.k.a. epidermo-dermal junction) is the place where those two meet. The dermis is where hair follicles, sweat glands, oil glands, and blood vessels are located. You have to puncture the dermis if your skin is going to bleed. Anyway, it appears that you are fighting some kind of infection, potentially a virus. Lymphocytes and macrophages are both types of white blood cells, which fight in the good name of your immune system. Melanocytes are merely the cells which are responsible for giving your skin pigmentation or color. I'm not sure what a melanophage is. Anyway, I presume that a test showed an "ATYPICAL" number of white blood cells in the blood. This means that there is a battle going on. Eat well, drink lots of water, see your chiropractor.
Glands located within the digestive tube include?
Examples of glands located within the digestive tube include the salivary glands, which secrete saliva in the mouth; gastric glands, found in the stomach and produce gastric juices; and the pancreas, which secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine.
What small glands that are embedded within another gland?
The parathyroid glands are on the thyroid.
