Question

Which cells of the epidermis are living?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Epidermis is the outermost layer and is about 0.05–1 mm in thickness depending on body part. Three main populations of cells reside in the epidermis: keratinocytes, melanocytes, and Langerhans cells.

The stratum basale,stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum all have living cells. Cells in the stratum lucidum are dying while cells in the stratum corneum on top have already died. Aside from these cells some bacteria (very much living) reside in the epidermal layers.
