In terms of tissue layers, the skin is composed of two layers, the epidermis and the dermis. It is the dermis that is the thickest layer. The hypodermis is also associated with the skin but is not considered an actual part of the skin. The skin and all its associated hairs, glands, and nerves are called the integumentary system.

How do you write a fraction of the relationship of the thickest layer to the thinnest layer?

To write a fraction representing the relationship of the thickest layer to the thinnest layer, you would typically place the thickness of the thickest layer in the numerator and the thickness of the thinnest layer in the denominator. This fraction would show how many times thicker the thickest layer is compared to the thinnest layer. For example, if the thickest layer is 10 cm and the thinnest layer is 2 cm, the fraction would be 10/2, which simplifies to 5/1 or simply 5.
