Michael has darker skin than Melanie.

Julia explains to her friend that the integument is composed of skin and its derivatives, like hair, nail and glands. That the skin is formed by the epidermis and the dermis.

What makes Julia's statement incorrect? - she inaccurately describes the epidermis -she inaccurately describes the location of the dermis. - she inaccurately describes the integument. - she inaccurately describes the formation of the skin - she inaccurately describes the regions of the dermis

She inaccurately describes the location of the dermis.
