∙ 8y agoStratum germinativum (also known as stratum basale or basal layer) is the deepest layer of the epidermis. In this layer, mitosis generates new keratinocytes.
The epidermis is composed of 5 layers. From most superficial to most deep, those are:
1) stratum corneum
2) stratum lucidum
3) stratum granulosum
4) stratum spinosum
5) stratum basale

It has subcutaneous tissue which is a layer of fat that lies between the http://www.answers.com/topic/dermis of the skin and underlying http://www.answers.com/topic/fascia. Subcutaneous fat insulates the body, absorbs trauma, and is a reserve energy source
From top to bottom Epidermis- Stratum corneum, lucidium, granulosum, spinosum and the basale then its just the Dermis were you have your melanocytes and hair follicle's. Dermis.

∙ 13y agoSkin will only have seven layers, but the accumulation of dead cells is what causes some areas to be thicker than others. For example, a callus might form on the middle finger of your dominant hand due to handwriting. Calluses are formed by frequent exposure to friction and the accumulation of terminally differentiated keratinocytes.

What is the inner layer of skin which contains blood vessels sweat glands hair follicles and nerve cells?
The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a surface area of 18 square feet. Its two main layers are the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer). And what you ask is DERMIS (thicker inner layer) .The dermis varies in thickness depending on the location of the skin. It is .3 mm on the eyelid and 3.0 mm on the back. The dermis is composed of three types of tissue that are present throughout - not in layers. The types of tissue are:collagenelastic tissuereticular fibersLayers of the DermisThe two layers of the dermis are the papillary and reticular layers.The upper, papillary layer, contains a thin arrangement of collagen fibers.The lower, reticular layer, is thicker and made of thick collagen fibers that are arranged parallel to the surface of the skin.
How deep is the third layer of skin down?
It depends on the patch of skin you are requiring to know about. For instance, the skin on your feet has evolved to be thicker than many other body parts because you walk on them and they need to be tough.
What is located in the reticular layer of the dermis?
The lower, reticular layer, is thicker and made of thick collagen fibers that are arranged in parallel to the surface of the skin. The reticular layer is denser than the papillary dermis, and it strengthens the skin, providing structure and elasticity. It also supports other components of the skin, such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.
Which skin is thicker a man or a woman's?
