Detailed explanation-1: -Your skin has three main layers, and the epidermis (ep-uh-derm-us) is the outermost layer in your body. The other two layers of skin are the dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis is the thinnest layer of skin, but it’s responsible for protecting you from the outside world, and it’s composed of five layers of its own.
Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis is the epithelial tissue layer of skin. Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands are epithelial invaginations from the epidermis.
Detailed explanation-3: -The layers of the epidermis include the stratum basale (the deepest portion of the epidermis), stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, and stratum corneum (the most superficial portion of the epidermis).
