Subcutaneous Tissue: The innermost layer of the skin, made of fat and connective tissue, offering insulation and cushioning.
皮下組織: 皮膚的最內層,由脂肪和結締組織組成,提供保溫絕緣與緩衝墊襯的作用。
Sebaceous Glands: Glands in the dermis that produce sebum, an oily substance that keeps the skin hydrated.
皮脂腺: 位於真皮層內的腺體,負責分泌皮脂(一種油性物質)以保持皮膚滋潤。
Sweat Glands: Structures in the dermis that produce sweat, helping regulate body temperature through cooling.
汗腺: 位於真皮層內的結構,負責產生汗液,透過蒸發散熱來協助調節體溫。
Collagen: A protein in the dermis that gives the skin strength and structure.
膠原蛋白: 真皮層內的一種蛋白質,能賦予皮膚強度與結構支撑。
Elastin: A protein in the dermis that allows the skin to stretch and return to its original shape.
彈性蛋白: 真皮層內的一種蛋白質,使皮膚能夠拉伸並恢復到原本的形狀。
Keratin: A strong protein found in hair and nails, providing durability and protection.
角蛋白: 存在於毛髮和指甲中的一種強韌蛋白質,能提供耐用度與保護功能。
Follicle: A small cavity in the dermis where hair grows, anchoring it and supplying nutrients.
毛囊: 真皮層中固定毛髮生長的小囊腔,負責錨定毛髮並提供其生長所需的營養。
Vitamin D Synthesis: The process by which the skin produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, supporting bone health.

皮脂: 由皮脂腺分泌的油性物質,能滋潤肌膚與毛髮。
Perspiration: The release of sweat from sweat glands to cool the body and remove waste.
排汗: 汗腺釋放汗液以降低體溫並排出代謝廢物的過程。
Barrier Function: The skin’s role in protecting the body from pathogens and preventing water loss.
屏障功能: 皮膚用以保護身體免受病原體侵害並防止水分流失的角色。
