Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The skin (called the integumentary system) is the largest organ of the body. The skin consists of two layers: the epidermis (the outermost protective layer made of dead, keratinized epithelial cells) and the dermis (the underlying layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, nerve endings, and the associated skin structures).
The layers of the epidermis, from the most superficial layer (outer) to the deepest layer (inner), are:
stratum corneum
stratum lucidum
stratum granulosum
stratum germinativum (made up of two sub-sections - the stratum basale and the stratum spinosum).
The visual below is a diagram illustrating the layers of the skin.
Note: The innermost layer, stratum germinativum, is not specifically labeled below. The stratum germinativum is made up of two sublayers - the stratum basale and the stratum spinosum.
