Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: the epidermis. The epidermis is not an accessory structure of the skin; it is the outermost layer of the skin responsible for protection. Lamellar corpuscles, sweat glands, and hair follicles are accessory structures because they are not part of the main structure of the skin but serve specific functions like detecting pressure, producing sweat, and generating hair respectively. The epidermis is essential for skin integrity, while the accessory structures play roles in sensory perception and temperature regulation.
