1. "The epidermis supplies new cells after older cells have been damaged or lost."
2. "The dermis supplies new cells after older cells have been damaged or lost."
3. "The stratum corneum supplies new cells after older cells have been damaged or lost."
4. "The stratum germinativum supplies new cells after older cells have been damaged or lost."

Rationale 2: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the dermis, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
Rationale 3: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the stratum corneum, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
Rationale 4: The deepest epidermal sublayer, the stratum basale, not the stratum germinativum, supplies the epidermis with new cells.
