The dermis and epidermis are two parts of what is called true skin. There is another layer underneath the dermis but it is NOT part of the skin. It is called the hypodermis.
The epidermis is further divided into four other layers:stratum basale, stratum spinosium, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum (top most). The dermis is further divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis.
