00:20
Well, as we know, the epidermis is going to be the upper layer of our skin.
00:27
And if we were to look at these layers in this cross section, we would see that our epidermis would end somewhere around here, and below that would be the dermis.

But it's not going to be this even cut.
00:44
Instead, what we see is our epidermis lined with a bunch of layers to the epidermis itself, but we also see that the dermis is actually, in reality, going to form these papyrus and they're going to be these protrusions into the epidermis.
