- 1Stratum Corneum (very top level)20-30 layers of dead cells, essentially flat membrane sacs filled with keratin, glycolipids in extracellular space
- 2stratum granulosumtypically 1-5 layers of flattened cells, organelles deteriorating; cytoplasm full of lamellar granules and keratohyaline
- 3stratum spinosumseveral layers of keratinocytes unified by desmosomes. cells contain thick bundles of intermediate filaments made of pre-keratin
- 4stratum basaledeepest epidermal layer, one row of actively mitotic stem cells; some newly formed cells become part of the more superficial layers.
- 5four distinct cells found in epidermiskeratinocytes- produce keratin
melanocytes- secrete melanin
langerhans-prevent infection
merkel cells- sensory receptors - 6two regions of the dermispapillary and reticular
