PATHOLOGY

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: -Skin that has four layers of cells is referred to as “thin skin.” From deep to superficial, these layers are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost skin layer. Its thickness depends on where it is on the body. It’s thinnest on the eyelids (roughly half a millimeter) and thickest on your palms and soles (1.5 millimeters).
