The epidermis has five layers, starting from the deepest one they are:

The stratum basale: is the layer that has the germinative cells, called keratinocytes.

The stratum spinosum: the keratinocytes are connected, and they produce the precursor of keratin and lipids.

The stratum granulosum: the name of this stratum is due to the appearance of the cells. They produce keratohyalin, and the lipids produced in the previous layer are released, creating the layer that protects the skin against dehydration.

The stratum lucidum: They are only in thick skin, like the one that is in the sole of our feet. The cells do not have a nucleus. They are filled with keratin, which is the component of thick skin.

The stratum corneum: the more superficial layer, it is made of dead cells filled with keratine. When new cells ascend to this stratum, the old ones have to be removed by exfoliation or natural peeling.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d) "orbitofrontal cortex".

Explanation:

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is the region of the brain responsible of the cognitive process of decision-making. The OFC is involved in the senses of award and remorse based on the results of decision making actions. In this case Jerome exhibits impulsive behavior that lead him to break a man's nose for no reason and had no remorse for doing so. It is likely that Jerome has a tumor in the OFC, which affects his decision making judgement and his feeling of right and wrong.
