- Answer the following questions about the integumentary system. Name each of the five sublayers of the epidermis in order from superficial to deep. For each layer, describe one unique characteristic and name the type of cells found there. Next, make a sentence to help you remember the order of the layers. Use the first letter of the second part of each layer (for example use the letter G for stratum granulosum) since they all start with "stratum." Put together a sentence with 5 words that start with the letters. For example I think "Please Make A Taco" to help me remember prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.arrow_forwardYou develop a callus, which is a thickening of the epidermis, from a pair or ill-fitting shoes.
