The epidermis of the skin develops from the ectoderm, which is one of the three primary germ layers of the embryo. The ectoderm gives rise to the outermost layer of the skin, hair, nails, and the nervous system. The endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract and respiratory system, while the mesoderm gives rise to muscle, bone, and connective tissue.
