Question: 1 / 50

The two main divisions of the skin are the epidermis and the:

subcutaneous tissue

dermis

The other options are incorrect because the subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat beneath the skin and is not considered a division of the skin itself. The cuticle is a layer of dead skin on the surface of nails and hair, not a division of the skin. Scarf skin is not a term used in the study of the skin. Therefore, the dermis is the only correct answer as it is the second main division of the skin, located between the epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue. It is responsible for providing structure and support to the skin, as well as containing important structures such as blood vessels and nerve endings.
