This image shows the
wall of the anal orifice, the boundary between the anus and the exterior of
the body.
This portion of the anal canal is covered by hairy skin, consisting of epidermis
(Ep) and its underlying dermis (De). The
epidermis is a typical keratinizing stratified squamous
epithelium (KSSE) with a prominent stratum corneum
(SC). The dermis contains hair follicles (HF)
with associated sebaceous glands (Se).
