What does CUTIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medicaltechnical
The true skin, or dermis, lying beneath the outer epidermis and containing blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.
Anatomists use cutis specifically for the deeper, thicker layer of skin that gives it strength and elasticity, as opposed to the thin outer epidermis that people usually mean by the everyday word skin. This deeper layer holds structures such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and small blood vessels, all of which support the thinner surface layer above it. The term comes directly from Latin, where it simply meant skin, and it survives today mainly in medical and scientific writing rather than everyday conversation.
