Epidermis is made up of epithelial cells ....Mainly statified epithelial cells....Having one or two layers....Below which there is connective tissue!
The deepest part of the epidermis also contains melanocytes.

The epidermis is made of four main layers, or strata: The stratum corneum is the thick, tough outer layer. It is made mostly of dead cells that slough off constantly. The stratum basale is comprised of new cells that are constantly dividing to replace the stratum corneum.
