Study Notes
Stratum Corneum
- Superior layer of the epidermis, composed of dead keratinized cells.
- Acts as a barrier, preventing water loss and protecting against environmental damage.
Stratum Lucidum
- Thin and translucent layer found only in thick skin, such as palms and soles.
- Provides an additional layer of protection and reduces friction.
Stratum Granulosum
- Characterized by keratinocytes that begin to flatten and lose their nuclei.
- Contains granules that contribute to keratin production and water resistance.
Stratum Spinosum
- Layer of keratinocytes connected by desmosomes, giving a spiny appearance.
- Provides strength and flexibility to the skin; also contains Langerhans cells involved in the immune response.
Stratum Basale
- Deepest layer of the epidermis, consisting of a single row of mitotically active keratinocytes.
- Responsible for the generation of new skin cells and attached to the underlying dermis.
