The following are the four (4) compartments of the epidermis, differentiate each.
1) the stratum basale,
2) the stratum spinosum,
3) the stratum granulosum,
4) the anucleated outermost layer, the stratum corneum,
The reticular layer of the dermis (a) provides strength and elasticity to the skin, (b) is composed of loose connective tissue, (c) insulates to prevent heat loss, (d) forms the dermal papilla.
What is the major factor accounting for the waterproof nature of the skin? (a) desmosomes in stratum corneum, (b) glycolipid between stratum corneum cells, (c) the thick insulating fat of the hypodermis, (d) the leathery nature of the dermis.
