The histological structure of the tail can be broken down into several layers:
Epidermis: The outermost layer, consisting of stratified squamous epithelium. Dermis: Located beneath the epidermis, it contains collagen fibers, blood vessels, and nerves. Hypodermis: This subcutaneous layer contains fat and connective tissues. Muscle Layers: Skeletal muscles arranged in segments around the vertebrae. Vertebrae: The bone structures that form the core of the tail. Nerves and Blood Vessels: These run through the tail, providing innervation and blood supply.
