An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In zoology, the epidermis is an epithelium (sheet of cells) that covers the body of a eumetazoan (animal more complex than a sponge). Eumetazoa have a cavity lined with a similar epithelium, the gastrodermis, which forms a boundary with the epidermis at the mouth. Sponges have no epithelium, and therefore no epidermis or gastrodermis. The epidermis of a more complex invertebrate is just one layer deep, and may be protected by a non-cellular cuticle. The epidermis of a higher vertebrate has many layers, and the outer layers are reinforced with keratin and then die.

  • In zoology, the epidermis is an epithelium (sheet of cells) that covers the body of a eumetazoan (animal more complex than a sponge). Eumetazoa have a cavity lined with a similar epithelium, the gastrodermis, which forms a boundary with the epidermis at the mouth. Sponges have no epithelium, and therefore no epidermis or gastrodermis. The epidermis of a more complex invertebrate is just one layer deep, and may be protected by a non-cellular cuticle. The epidermis of a higher vertebrate has many layers, and the outer layers are reinforced with keratin and then die. (en)
  • Em zoologia, a epiderme é um epitélio (camada de células) que cobre o corpo dos animais eumetazoários (animal mais complexo que as esponjas). Os eumetazoários possuem uma cavidade alinhada com um epitélio semelhante, a gastroderme, que forma uma fronteira com a epiderme, na boca. As esponjas não possuem epitélio, e como tal, nem epiderme nem gastroderme. A epiderme de invertebrados mais complexos tem apenas uma camada e pode ser protegida por uma cutícula não-celular. A epiderme de vertebrados superiores possui mais camadas, sendo que a camada mais exterior é reforçada com queratina e depois morre. (pt)
