False. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, whereas the dermis is located beneath the epidermis.
Macrophages are primarily found in the dermis, which is the layer of skin below the epidermis. They play a key role in the immune response and help protect the skin from pathogens and foreign invaders.
The epidermis of the stem is typically located on the outermost surface of the stem. It serves as a protective layer and is in direct contact with the environment. Just below the epidermis, you would find the cortex or ground tissue of the stem.
Hair is made up of three layers. The first is the outside layer, the cuticle, it is colourless and it is the protective layer of the hair. It lets chemicals such as shampoo and water in and out of the hair. Then under the cuticle you have the cortex. This is where colour is made and deposited. The inner most part of the hair is the medulla. It is only found in coarse hair and it has no real purpose.
The fatty layer in the skin, known as the subcutaneous tissue, serves to insulate the body, regulate temperature, and act as a cushion to protect underlying organs and structures. It also stores energy in the form of adipose tissue.
The hypodermis layer contains abundant adipose tissue. This layer is located below the dermis and serves as a storage site for fat, providing insulation and padding for the body.
