Soft Tissue Trauma Practice Test

The epidermis is approximately how thick?

0.06 mm 0.6 mm 6 mm 0.006 mm

Correct Answer:

0.06 mm

Explanation:

The epidermis is a relatively thin layer, typically around tens of micrometers in thickness. A common estimate places it near 0.05–0.1 mm, so 0.06 mm fits well as a general approximation. The other values are far too large or too small for the overall thickness of the epidermis: 0.6 mm or 6 mm would imply a much thicker layer, and 0.006 mm is only about 6 micrometers, thinner than the usual epidermal thickness.
