MORPHOFUNCTIONAL FORMATION OF THE SKIN AS AN ORGAN IN THE PROCESS OF ONTOGENESIS
The development of new areas of medicine requires more accurate visualization of the structural components of the skin of laboratory rats, their spatial distribution and dynamics of changes in the postnatal period. The study was carried out on male Wistar rats skin at different periods of postnatal ontogenesis. There is a gradual accumulation and development of skin derivatives in the skin in the postnatal period, as well as structures laid down in prenatal ontogenesis. In connection with the addition of new functions performed by the skin, qualitative and quantitative morphological and functional changes occur in it.
