Explanation

The epidermis, represented as layer 1a in the figure, is the outermost layer of the skin. It serves as the first line of defense against environmental factors, protecting the body from pathogens, UV radiation, and water loss. The epidermis is composed of several sublayers, including the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer, and is responsible for the skin's barrier function. It continually regenerates, shedding old cells and replacing them with new ones.
