Stratum corneum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The stratum corneum ("the horny layer") is the outermost layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). The thickness of the stratum corneum varies according to the amount of protection and/or grip required by a region of the body. In reptiles, the stratum corneum is permanent, and is only replaced during times of rapid growth, in a process called ecdysis or moulting. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stratum_corneum   (276 words)

[No title] Stratum Basale - The deepest epidermal layer, it's a single row of cells (usually cuboidal) that are always rapidly dividing, producing the superficial layers. Stratum Granulosum - 3-5 layers of cells that are beginning to die and whose membranes are thickening. The filaments are made of tonofilaments of the Stratum Spinosum and the granules of the Stratum Granulosum. www.olemiss.edu /courses/bisc206/epiderm.html   (549 words)

Histology BIOL 4000 - Integument - Lecture Notes 11   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) This is supported by the fact that the stratum spinosum is thicker in portions of skin subject to frequent abrasion such as palms and soles. Since the upper layer of skin is heavily keratinized and the lower layer (stratum germinativum) is not, it is clear that as cells of the epidermis progress toward the external surface, one of the things that is happening is that higher and higher concentrations of keratin are being synthesized and deposited in the cytoplasm. The hair follicle, in a sense, is a deep invagination of the epidermis that involves the stratum basale and stratum spinosum. www.auburn.edu /academic/classes/zy/hist0509/html/Lec11Integument.html   (1543 words)

Stratum spinosum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the skin, the stratum spinosum is a multi-layered arrangement of cuboidal cells that sits beneath the stratum granulosum. Their fate is sealed because the nutrients and oxygen in interstitial fluid have become exhausted before the fluid is able to reach them by diffusion. Cells of the stratum spinosum actively synthesize intermediate filaments called cytokeratins which are composed of keratin. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stratum_spinosum   (154 words)

Visual Changes Skin Care   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The stratum corneum consists of tightly packed, scale­like cells which are continually being shed (exfoliated) and replaced. The stratum spinosum is often classified witht the stratum germinativum to form the basal layer. The stratum germinativum (basal layer) is responisble for the growth of the epidermis and is where your skin produces melanin. www.visualchanges.com /skinscience.html   (554 words)

Epithelium: Page 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The stratum corneum (small arrow) has the most layers (7 or 8 seen here), but usually forms less than half of the entire thickness of the epidermis as seen in the dog. The stratum granulosum (large arrow) forms a thin, darkly stained region that separates the stratum corneum from the stratum spinosum. A closer look at the stratum spinosum allows one to actually see the "spines" or cellular processes (arrows) that attach each adjacent cell to another. sacs.vetmed.ufl.edu /histo/epi08.htm   (297 words)

The Integumentary System Stratum spinosum is a middle portion of the epidermis several cells thick. Stratum granulosum is a layer just above the spinosum in which large amounts of keratohyalin is being synthesized.

Dermatology in ENT (Feb.1997) The stratum basale (stratum germinativum) consists of a single layer of columnar or cuboidal cells resting on the basal lamina at the dermal- epidermal junction.

INTEGUMENT The cells above this layer are polyhedral, and because of their many desmosomes appear spiny, hence the layer is referred to as the stratum spinosum. During differentiation, in the stratum granulosum, aggregations of keratin filaments become embedded in matrix proteins derived originally from keratohyaline granules. In the cells of the stratum corneum, this keratin protein complex occupies the entire dead cell. medocs.ucdavis.edu /CHA/402/labsyl/01/08.htm   (1665 words)

Physiology of the Skin The dermis is composed of five smaller layers: stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale.

Glossary of dermatological terms. DermNet NZ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The granular layer of the epidermis (stratum granulosum) is characterised by flattened cells filled with dark granules containing keratohyaline protein. Hyperkeratosis or scaling is an increase in the dead cells on the surface of the skin (stratum corneum). The prickle cell layer of the epidermis (stratum spinosum) contains increasingly flat keratinocytes that arise as the epidermal cells mature and move upwards towards the skin surface. www.dermnetnz.org /glossary.html   (2401 words)

EXCITE = Excellence in Curriculum Integration through Teaching Epidemiology Cells in the stratum spinosum are larger and more flattened. Cells in the stratum granulosum are still larger and more mature than cells of the stratum spinosum. The keratin works together with lipids (fats) and tight inter-cellular connections called "desmosomes." The cells of the stratum corneum are the most specialized of the keratinocytes. www.cdc.gov /excite/skincancer/mod01.htm   (775 words)

Anatomy of the skin In the thick skin found on the palms of the hand and soles of the feet, for example, the epidermal layers from the inside out are the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum and stratum corneum.

InfiniteAloe™ - Aloe Overview According to Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, the Epidermis is "the outermost and nonvascular layer of the skin, derived from the embryonic ectoderm, varying in thickness from 0.07 to 0.12 mm, except on the palms and soles where it may be 0.8 and 1.4 mm, respectively. On the palmer and plantar surfaces, it exhibits maximal cellular differentiation and layering, and comprises, from within outward, five layers: the basal layer (startum basale epidermis), the prickle cell or spinous layer (stratum spinosum epidermis), the granular layer (stratum granulosum epidermis), the clear layer (stratum lucidum epidermis), and the horny layer (stratum corneum epidermis). In the thinner epidermis of the general body surface, the basal, prickle cell, and horny layers are constantly present and the granular layer is usually identifiable, but the www.infinitealoe.com /info/aloeoverview.aspx   (618 words)
