| Epidermis description |
|---|
|
The epidermis is the outer layer of the three layers that make up the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis. The epidermis layer provides a barrier to infection from environmental pathogens and regulates the amount of water released from the body into the atmosphere through transepidermal water loss. The outermost part of the epidermis is composed of multiple layers of flattened cells, that overlies a base layer (stratum basale) composed of columnar cells arranged perpendicularly. * The rows of cells develop from the stem cells in the basal layer. ENaCs are found to be expressed in all layers of the epidermis.Epidermis comes from Ancient Greek epi, meaning 'over, upon'.* |
