Label Parts of Skin Worksheet
The skin is the body’s largest organ and protects us from germs, regulates body temperature, and helps us feel sensations. In biology, studying the skin’s layers and parts, like the epidermis, dermis, and sweat glands, helps us understand its functions. This worksheet will help label the parts of the skin. Hope you will like it. You can download this worksheet (PDF) using the link at the worksheet’s end.

Label Parts of Skin Worksheet
The skin protects our body from harmful things like germs, heat, and sunlight. It helps control body temperature, senses touch and pain, and stores nutrients. The skin also helps keep moisture in and prevents dehydration.
1. Vein: Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In the skin, they help circulate blood and remove waste products, supporting overall health and skin function.
2. Adipose Tissue: Adipose tissue is a type of fat found beneath the skin. It stores energy, provides insulation to keep the body warm, and acts as a cushion to protect organs and joints.
3. Dermis: The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis. It contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and connective tissue, providing strength, and elasticity, and supporting the skin’s ability to sense touch and pressure.
4. Epidermis: The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin. It protects the body from harmful substances, prevents water loss, and contains skin cells that produce melanin, which gives skin its color and protects it from UV rays.
5. Middle Turbinate: The middle turbinate is part of the nasal structure, not the skin, but helps with airflow and humidification inside the nose. It can affect the skin around the nose if there’s congestion.
6. Subcutaneous Layer: The subcutaneous layer is located under the dermis. It consists of fat and connective tissue, providing insulation, energy storage, and cushioning to protect internal organs and help regulate body temperature.
7. Artery: Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the skin and other body parts. In the skin, arteries supply oxygen and nutrients to the cells for healthy function.
8. Hypodermis: The hypodermis, or subcutaneous tissue, lies beneath the dermis. It contains fat cells, helps insulate the body, stores energy, and connects the skin to muscles and bones, providing support and protection.
9. Hair Bulb: The hair bulb is the base of the hair follicle, where hair growth begins. It contains living cells that divide and produce keratin, the protein that makes up hair.
10. Hair: Hair grows from follicles in the dermis and is made of keratin. It serves to protect the scalp, help with temperature regulation, and has sensory functions, as it can detect changes in touch or movement.
