Definition: The term "subectodermic" is a term used in medicine and dermatology. It refers to a type of skin cell that develops from the dermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and can be found on various parts of the body, including the scalp, eyebrows, lips, and even the nails. Subectodermic cells are responsible for the production of hair follicles, which are important for hair growth and maintenance in the human body.
