What features are part of this tissue? PART D. Skin Derivatives Hair: The part of the hair that is above the skin is called the and it is composed of keratin and dead epithelial cells (much like the stratum corneum of the epidermis). The part of the hair that is below the skin is called the At the bottom of the hair is the bulb, which is composed of living epithelial cells responsible for hair growth. The hair is the living, vase-like group of cells that surrounds the bulb and part of the root. It is made of two layers called root-sheaths: (1) an epithelial tissue root sheath derived from the stratum basale and (2) a connective tissue root sheath derived from the dermis.

- If someone was arguing with you and said they knew that a paramecium had an epidermis, which of the statements below would best put the issue to rest? Multiple Choice The paramecium has a pellicle not an epidermis. The paramecium is single-celled and epidermis is derived from a tissue layer. Since the paramecium is composed of one cell, it cannot have tissues. The paramecium has cilia on the outside of the body and so it cannot have an epidermis. The epidermis would not allow the life-supporting process of diffusion, which is required by protozoans.arrow_forwardwhat do epidermal ridges give rise to?
