What is the outer layer of the epidermis known as?

Dermis
Hypodermis
Stratum Corneum
Stratum Basale

The correct answer is: Stratum Corneum

The other options, Dermis, Hypodermis and Stratum Basale are all incorrect because they refer to layers of skin other than the outer layer of the epidermis. The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis, while the hypodermis is the layer of tissue below the dermis. The stratum basale is the deepest layer of the epidermis, not the outer layer. The outer layer of the epidermis is known as the stratum corneum, which is the layer that is exposed to the environment and is responsible for providing protection for the skin. It is made up of dead skin cells and plays an important role in maintaining the barrier function of the skin.
