Where are the dermis and epidermis?
Epidermis is the top layer of skin and the one you can actually see. The dermis is the layer that lies underneath the epidermis, and it is composed entirely of living cells. T…he most important function of dermis is respiration. The various glands such as the oil and sweat glands originate in the lower dermis. From here, they rise to the surface of the skin to eliminate waste matter. (MORE)

What is the epidermis?
The epidermis is a supuficial thin layer and is divided into three layers, The Malphigian layer, The Granular Layer and The Cornified Layer. 4-5 layers of stratified squamous …epithelial cells with lipid layer to preserve moisture. Thin skin is made of 4 layers the stratum germanitivum, the stratum spinosum, the stratum granulosum, and the stratum corneum, thick skin has all these layers and an additional layer named the stratum lucidum. The epidermis is composed of the outermost layers of cells in the skin Epidermis is the outer layer of cells covering an organism, in particular. Your epidermis is the outer layer of your skin.

Those layers in descending order are the cornified layer (stratum corneum), cle…ar/translucent layer found only on the palms and soles (stratum lucidum), granular layer (stratum granulosum), spinous layer (stratum spinosum), and basal/germinal layer (stratum basale/germinativum). The term Malpighian layer (stratum malpighi) is usually defined as both the basal and spinosum layers as a unit The Layers of the Epidermis are. 1- Stratum Corneum ( Most Superficial ) 2- Stratum Granulosum 3- Stratus Spinosum 4- Stratum Basale or Basal Layer ( Deepest Layer ) * Stratum Corneum = keratinized,dead,flattened scale-like and non-nucleated cells which are continuously shed as flake-like residue. * Stratum Lucidum = thin,clean layers found only in epidermis of the lips,palms and soles. * Stratum Granulosum = one or more layers of granular cells that contain fiber ang keratin and shriveled nuclei. * Stratum Spinosum =spiny layer, several stratified layer of cells in contact with centrally located, large oral nuclei and spine like process. * Stratum Germinativum = basal layer, simple layer of cuboidal cells in contact with the epidermis. From deepest to superficial: Stratum germinativum (also called "stratum basale"), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum (palms & soles), and stratum corneum, the outermost layer that is composed of dead skin cells.
