Epidermis is the term used to describe the outermost layer of the skin. The epidermis is made up of five layers: stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. The basal layer repeatedly divides and replaces cells.

Cell division occurs primarily in what layer of the skin?
Cell division occurs in the stratum basale of the epidermis. The epidermis is made up of 5 layers. From outer to inner these layers are: stratum corneum, stratum licidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. The basale is the innermost layer of the epidermis and is where cell division occurs.
How many cell layers make up the epidermis?
In humans, the epidermis is four or five cell layers thick, depending upon the area of skin in question. There is the cornfield layer, the clear layer, granular layer, spinous layer and basal layer.
What do the epidermis consist of?
The human epidermis is composed of four cell types which are keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and the Merkels cells.Constituting 95% of the epidermis is the Keratinocytes,making it the major constituent.
What are the two main layers of the cutaneous membrane Describe these layers?
epidermis & dermis
Where does the epidermis grow from?
The epidermis forms from key specialised stem cells found deeper under the outer layer. These stem cells are found in or on top of the dermis and grow into the epidermis. These cells in grow in layers and as the layers age, the cells undergo a process called 'keratinisation' almost completely changing into the protein keratin. The last part of the cell that is converted is the nucleus.

What are the 3 layers of the skin?
There are actually three layers of skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.
What is the pigment that helps the deepest layers of the epidermis called?
Melanin is the pigment that helps protect the deepest layers of the epidermis.
Which cells in leaves are covered with wax?
The epidermis cell is located on the outer layers of a leaf. It is protected by a wax-like layer.
The epidermis contains nerve endings and blood vessels?
The epidermis does not but the lower layers of the dermis do.

What is the process of cell regeneration within the epidermis?
The cells in skin, or epidermis, regenerate on a daily basis.
