  Huidkanker.be | Spinocellulair Carcinoom | definitie
Een spinocellulair carcinoma (of plaveiselcel carcinoom) is een kwaadaardige (maligne) huidtumor die kan uitzaaien.
Deze huidtumor ontwikkelt zich uit de normale huidcellen of keratinocyten uit het stratum spinosum van onze opperhuid of epidermis.
Het is in het stratum spinosum dat zich deze keratinocyten bevinden.

The stratum granulosum comprises two or three layers of flattened cells which contain granules of eleidin, a substance readily stained by hematoxylin or carmine, and probably an intermediate substance in the formation of keratin.
The stratum lucidum appears in section as a homogeneous or dimly striated membrane, composed of closely packed cells in which traces of flattened nuclei may be found, and in which minute granules of a substance named keratohyalin are present.
The nails grow in length by the proliferation of the cells of the stratum mucosum at the root of the nail, and in thickness from that part of the stratum mucosum which underlies the lunula.

The deepest layer of the epidermis is the stratum basale.
This is the stratum corneum or " horny layer." It's the actual interface between the outer surface of the animal and its environment.
The stratum spinosum is present, as it always is, but again is only a couple of cells thick, and deep to that is the stratum basale.

The first two layers are considered together as the horny layer and the latter two as the mucous layer, but in our pathological study of the skin it is necessary to study the four separate layers, on account of their separate and special involvement in the different diseases we meet.
Stratum Corium, the external layer, is composed of several layers of flat scales or epithelia, free from nuclei or granulations; they desquamate all through life, and their mode of growth is not yet settled.
Stratum Lucidum is a thin layer quite transparent (hence its name) lying directly beneath the corium layer.

The Stratum basale (also called Stratum germinativum): This is the deepest layer of the epidermis and it is here that new cells are generated for the renewal of the epidermal layers of the skin.
The Stratum granulosum: As keratinocyes (these are the basic cell of which the epidermis is composed) progressively mature they accumulate a protein called keratin (this process is called keratinisation).
The Stratum lucidum: This is the second layer of the epidermis and varies in thickness throughout the body depending mainly on frictional forces and is thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet (1).

Hemidesmosomes attach the cells of this layer to the basement membrane that separates the epidermis from the loose connective tissue of the adjacent dermis.
The stratum spinosum consists of 8-10 layers of cells, and the keratinocytes are bound together by desmosomes.
The stratum granulosum consists of 3-5 layers of keratinocytes displaced from the stratum spinosum.

No, the answer is D. Thin skin has the same basic structure except that the stratum lucidum is usually not seen, the individual layers are usually thinner, and hair follicles are present.
No, the answer is A. The stratum basale is the most basal layer right above the basement membrane It is only one cell layer thick and the cytoplasm of these cells stains basophilic reflecting their high metabolic and mitotic activity.
The transparent nature of the stratum lucidum under the light microscope is probably due to the unique arrangement of keratin in the cytoplasm.

The stratum basale is the deepest epidermal layer and is firmly attached to the dermis.
The stratum lucidum consists of a few rows of dead, flattened keratinocytes that have indistinct boundaries.

 The Skin
Below the stratum lucidum, but still part of the epidermis, is the "stratum germinativum," or germinative layer.
Penetrating through the stratum germinativum are the sebaceous glands which originate in the dermis and secrete an oily substance serving to lubricate the skin.
Below the stratum germinativum is the "dermis," which is made of connective tissue (proteins called "collagen" and "elastin") penetrated by nerves, veins, arteries, venules, arterioles, capillaries, lymph ducts and containing sweat glands and hair follicles.

These data demonstrate that single stratum lucidum interneurons express two populations of AMPA receptors: one that is PhTx-sensitive and associated with mossy-fiber inputs and another that is PhTx-insensitive and associated with CA3 recurrent collateral inputs.
The dendritic trees of the recorded neurons were oriented either vertically (cell 3) or horizontally (cell 5) with respect to the pyramidal-cell layer.
In most cells, the axonal arbor occupied the stratum lucidum and/or to a lesser extent the stratum pyramidale.

The stratum corneum is the uppermost layer and consists of desquamating enucleated cells.
The stratum granulosum is comprised of keratinocytes that are intensely stained due to the presence of keratohyalin granules.
The epidermis, dermis and hypodermis are histologically similar with the exception of the absence of a stratum lucidum and the presence of hair follicles which extend deep into the hypodermis.

 Epidermis - skin care information
It is made up of five layers: the basal cell layer, the squamous cell layer, the stratum granulosum, the stratum lucidum, and the stra­tum corneum.
Above the basal cell layer is the squamous cell layer, also called the stratum spinosum or “spiny layer” because the cells are held to­gether with spiny projections.
The stratum corneum (or “horny layer,” because its cells are toughened like an ani­mal’s horn) is made up of 10 to 30 thin layers of these dead cells.

The skin is the body's largest organ, and serves many functions: regulation of body temperature, protection from environment, excretion of some wastes and absorption of some chemicals and vitamins, and sensation.
This diagram shows only 4 layers because it represents thin skin where the Stratum Lucidum is missing.
In thicker skin, the Stratum Lucidum will be found in between stratum corneum and stratum granulosum.

The connective tissue of the dermis consists of an upper relatively loose papillary layer and a lower reticular layer of dense irregular connective tissue.
In thick skin where the Stratum Corneum (green arrow) is very thick, a fifth layer is present, which is the stratum lucidum.
Notice how the stratum lucidum is more transparent or translucent than the rest of the stratum corneum.

The lucidum acts as a barrier zone controlling the transmission of water through the skin.
This layer along with the stratum germinativum forms the basal layer of the epidermis.
This is the deepest section of the epidermis and is in contact with the Dermis, from which it derives its nutrient fluid via the capillary blood vessels.
