Read the following text and answer the questions.
The skin is the outer covering of the body. It consists of two coats: the epidermis or cuticle, and the dermis or
corium. Beneath these, there is a layer of adipose tissue which connects the skin to the underlying
structures. This layer is known as the subcutaneous layer.
The skin is usually warm, dry and elastic, but changes in its condition can occur both in illness and in health.
The skin of patients who are dehydrated as a result of prolonged pyrexia is dry and inelastic. In some
infectious diseases, it is hot and wet due to hyperpyrexia and profuse sweating. In cases of shock and
haemorrhage, it is cold and clammy. In skin diseases, it can be either excessively moist or excessively dry
and scaly.
The colour of the skin can also vary considerably. It can be flushed in pyrexia, pallid in shock, cyanosed in
anoxaemia or yellowish in jaundice.
