Which layer of the skin is directly beneath the epidermis?

  1. Papillary layer

  2. Reticular layer

  3. Subcutaneous layer

  4. Stratum lucidum

The correct answer is: Papillary layer

The layer of the skin that is directly beneath the epidermis is the papillary layer. This is because the epidermis is the outermost layer of skin and the papillary layer is the first layer of the underlying dermis. The reticular layer is located further underneath the papillary layer, and the subcutaneous layer is not considered part of the skin but rather serves as a layer of insulation and support for the dermis. The stratum lucidum is a layer of the epidermis and therefore cannot be the layer below it.
