Where does the process of skin cell shedding begin?

  1. Stratum corneum

  2. Stratum lucidum

  3. Stratum germinativum

  4. Stratum spinosum

The correct answer is: Stratum spinosum

The process of skin cell shedding begins at the Stratum spinosum, which is the layer of skin located between the Stratum corneum and the Stratum germinativum. This is because the Stratum spinosum is responsible for producing new skin cells, which eventually push up towards the surface of the skin and replace the older cells. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they are all located above the Stratum spinosum and do not play a direct role in shedding skin cells. Option A is the outermost layer of the skin, while option B and C are located beneath it but are not directly involved in the shedding process.
