EPIDERMIS

The epidermis (surface of the skin) consists of dead cells, which are rubbed off as a person moves and goes about their business. This layer of dead cells is often refered to as 'false' skin. The
epidermis consists of four layers: the stratum basale, the stratum spinosum, the stratum granulosum, and the stratum corneum.
