Question

The surface of skin is composed of (a)nervous tissue (b)connective tissue (c)muscle tissue (d)epithelial tissue​

Answer 1

The surface of skin is composed of (d) epithelial tissue​.

Explanation:

• The epidermis is composed of the outermost layers of cells in the skin.
• Basically our skin is made up of three layers  namely hypo dermis,epidermis and dermis.
• The epidermis provides a waterproof barrier and creates our skin tone.
• The topmost layer the stratum corneum consists of dead cells that shed periodically and is progressively replaced by cells formed from the basal layer.
• The stratum basale also contains melanocytes cells that produce melanin pigment primarily responsible for giving color to the skin.
• Outer region of the skin composed of stratified squamous epithelium.
• The dermis is beneath the epidermis and it contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands.
• The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.

Answer 2

The surface of the skin is composed of epithelial tissue. (OPTION D)

HUMAN SKIN -

• Human skin consists of three layers namely the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis.
• The Epidermis is the uppermost layer exposed to the environment.
• The layer is made of densely packed epithelium cells.
• The dermis layer is formed by connective tissue holding blood vessels, sweat glands, and hair follicles.
• The lowermost hypodermis is made of connective tissue containing fatty cells.
• The Skin surface consists of keratinized dead cells to protect the body from foreign particles.
