What layer of skin that contains the blood vessels and nerves closest to the surface of of the skin is?

The upper layer of the skin is called the 'epidermis'. In birds, it contains no nerve cells, and their Merkel cells are located in the dermis. However, in most animals it contains a scattering of nerve cells called Merkel cells, located at the basal layer. The middle layer of the skin is called the 'dermis.' It contins blood vessels, most of the nerve cells, and other structures. The lower layer of the skin is called the 'sub-cutis' and mostly contains fat.


Which layer of the skin produces the skin cells?

The Bascal Cell Layer, the deepest layer where cells divide to produce new skin cells.


Is the outer layer of the skin made of liveing cells?

The outer layer of the skin, called the epidermis, is mostly made up of dead skin cells called keratinocytes. However, the deepest layer of the epidermis contains living cells that are responsible for producing new skin cells.

What nerve supplies the skin?

skin cells and skin tissues


What is a basal layer?

The basal layer is the deepest layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. It contains cells called basal cells that continuously divide and give rise to new skin cells. These new cells then move up through the layers of the epidermis to the surface of the skin.


How come you can cut the outside layer of your skin without feeling pain?

The outer layer of skin, called the epidermis, does not contain nerve endings that sense pain. Therefore, cutting this layer may not be painful. Pain receptors are more concentrated in the deeper layers of the skin, such as the dermis.
