Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the structure of the skin, which consists of three primary layers: the epidermis (outermost layer), the dermis (middle layer), and the hypodermis (innermost layer).
Step 2: Recall the function of each layer: the epidermis provides a protective barrier, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves, and the hypodermis stores fat and provides insulation.
Step 3: Analyze the options provided in the question and identify the correct order based on anatomical knowledge of the skin layers.
Step 4: Confirm that the correct order of the layers from outermost to innermost is: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis.
Step 5: Eliminate the incorrect options by comparing them to the correct anatomical sequence of the skin layers.
