Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of the skin: The skin is composed of multiple layers, primarily the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer), with a subcutaneous layer beneath. Each layer contains specific tissue types.

Identify the tissue types in the epidermis: The epidermis is made up of epithelial tissue, specifically stratified squamous epithelium, which provides a protective barrier.

Identify the tissue types in the dermis: The dermis contains connective tissue, including dense irregular connective tissue, which provides strength and elasticity. It also houses structures like blood vessels, nerves, and glands.

Clarify the absence of other tissue types: Muscle tissue is not a primary component of the skin, though smooth muscle may be associated with hair follicles (arrector pili muscles). Nervous tissue is present in the dermis but is not a major structural tissue type. Cartilage and bone tissues are not found in the skin.

Conclude with the correct answer: Based on the composition of the skin, the correct tissue types are epithelial and connective tissues, as these are the primary structural components of the skin.
