What is the stratum corneum?

The layer of skin that produces hair
The outermost layer of the epidermis made up of dead skin
The innermost layer of the epidermis
The fluid that lubricates the joints

The correct answer is: The outermost layer of the epidermis made up of dead skin

The stratum corneum is indeed the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting primarily of dead skin cells. This layer serves as a critical barrier, protecting underlying layers of skin from environmental damage, pathogens, and moisture loss. The cells in the stratum corneum are densely packed and continuously shed and replaced, contributing to the skin’s overall health and function. Understanding the stratum corneum's role in skin structure is important for professionals in the beauty and health industry, especially in fields like laser hair removal, where knowledge of skin layers helps inform treatment protocols and skin care regimens.
