The cells of epidermis layer divide and grow, the older cells of this layer are pushed away from the dermis toward the skin surface. Basically, the epidermis cells come from the dermis by being pushed to the skin's surface.

∙ 15y agoThere are several layers of skin, listed here from deep to superficial: Dermis, {stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum}. Those inside the {} are parts of the epidermis. The stratum basale has stem cells that undergo mitosis, causing them to give rise to keratinocytes that migrate toward the skin surface and replace dead or lost epidermal cells. The next layer (stratum spinosum) also has capability of mitosis, but only in the deepest area. As the cells are pushed further toward the surface, they lose the ability to divide. Basically, the cells continue to reproduce at the basement layer (stratum basale), and those new cells force the older cells toward the surface, forming the layers of the epidermis. ;-)

What kind of plants tissue is not epidermis or vascular tissues?
The "ground" or "ground tissue" is plant tissue is not epidermis or vascular tissue.
Which epidermis is closely adhered to the underlying tissue?
upper epidermis
What is the tissues in the epidermis?
Tissue type of the epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
What kind of tissue forms a protective surface on the outside of your body?
The tissue on the outermost part of your body is the skin, which is made up of epithelial tissue. The layer that comes into contact with the atmosphere is called the epidermis.
What type of tissue forms the protective outer layers of the plant?
dermalEpidermal Tissueepithelial tissue
What kind of plants tissue is not epidermis or vascular tissues?
The "ground" or "ground tissue" is plant tissue is not epidermis or vascular tissue.
What layer of the epidermis contains protein fibres?
No, there is not dense connective tissue in the epidermis. There is loose connective tissue right below the epidermis (areolar connective tissue).
What kind of tissue comprises skin?
Skin is composed of three main layers of tissue: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). The epidermis is the outermost layer that provides a barrier function, the dermis contains blood vessels, nerves, and glands, and the hypodermis consists of fat and connective tissue for insulation and energy storage.
Which epidermis is closely adhered to the underlying tissue?
upper epidermis
The outermost tissue of a young plant is called?
the Epidermis.
What epithelium tissue is the epidermis of the skin?
The epidermis is made up of stratified squamous epithelium.
What epithelial tissues forms the epidermis of the skin?
Epithelial tissue? Maybe. I Think... Also Muscle Cell Forms A Muscle Tissue And A Nerve Cell ( Neuron in Posh Standards ) forms a nerve tissue
Is epidermis an organelle or a cell or a tissue or an organ?
tissue
What is the tissues in the epidermis?
Tissue type of the epidermis is stratified squamous epithelium.
Hair and nails are a thickened form of fatty tissue or epidermis?
epidermis
What are the three layer of skin?
Epidermis, Dermis, and Subcutaneous Tissue.
