Which layer of the skin is also known as the corium curis?

Dermis
Subcutaneous layer
Stratum Basal
Stratum Spinosum

The correct answer is: Dermis

The correct answer is A. Dermis. The layer of the skin that is also known as the corium curis is the dermis. The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that contains important structures such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and nerve endings. It is responsible for providing strength, elasticity, and support to the skin. The other options are incorrect because: - The subcutaneous layer is known as the hypodermis and is made up of primarily adipose tissue. - The stratum basale (not stratum basal) is the deepest layer of the epidermis where cells continuously divide and reproduce. - The stratum spinosum is a layer of the epidermis where cells contain spiny extensions and continue to divide as they move towards the skin's surface.
