Where is epidermis present?

Answer 1

The living cells in the epidermis are located beneath the dead cells. Hope this helps!
Yes but your skin shreds everyday so you may have layers of dead skin forming on the surface of your skin. We shred quite a lot of skin cells everyday but if you're talking about actual layers of skin in which blood runs through then yes, those cells are indeed alive . :)

Answer 2

The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin in humans and other animals. It is also found in the outer layer of leaves and other plant organs to protect against water loss, regulate gas exchange, and provide a barrier against pathogens.

Answer 3

The skin consists of:

an outermost layer, the epidermis;

the region below that, the dermis;

and a more or less thick layer of fat.

There are cells in all these layers. The cells of the epidermis are gradually pushed towards the skin surface, and as they move up they flatten and die. For a graphic animation, and more information, visit:

Answer 4

Epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin or body found both in plants as well as animals. It's main function is to protect the body. In animals the epidermis usually consists of squamous epithelium while in plants it contains cutin (a waxy polymer) which reduces water loss.

Answer 5

Outer skin cells are (they don't produce protective mucosa), and the amount of cutin depositied varies depending on whether it's an area of higher or lesser friction. Soles and palms for instance have way more cutin than elsewhere.

No, it consists mostly of keratinocytes I believe. Here's a link for more information on the epidermis: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569048/Skin.html Hope this helps. ^^
