epidermal cell
Technical term in biology for a cell of the epidermis, the outer layer of skin or plant tissue.
Epidermal cells cover the surface of plant leaves.
Human epidermal cells are renewed approximately every 28 days.
表皮 is the epidermis (tissue layer), while 表皮細胞 specifically refers to the individual cells that make up that layer.
Compound of 表皮 (epidermis) + 細胞 (cell). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term follows standard Sino-Japanese word formation patterns for biological terminology.
