The layer of skin that is composed of several layers of different-shaped cells and is responsible for the growth of the epidermis is the?
The epidermis is divided into different layers: - Stratum corneum - Stratum lucidum - Stratum granulosum - Stratum spinosum - Stratum basale The stratum basale is made up of the cells which through mitosis replicate several times. Each of these cells goes up towards the surface by being "pushed" by the new cells in formation. Stratum basale is the place of "birth" of the cells that compose the rest of layers which form the epidermis.
What is the epidermal layer containing the oldest cells?
The stratum Basale contains the most cells of the epidermis. Through the process of enucleation and apoptosis, the number of cells decrease as you move up the strata (layers).
Where are stem cells located on your skin?
stratum basale
Which doesn't belong prickle cells stratum basale stratum spinosum and cell shrinkage?
Stratum Basale. The cells in the Stratum Spinosum are spiny shaped and are called prickle cells. These arise during tissue preparation when the cells shrink.
Which Layers of epidermis that contain living cells?
The stratum basale is where cell division happens.
Where is melanin located in the skin?
Melanocytes are pigment cells that synthesize melanin. These cells inject the melanin pigment in the living keratinocytes cells (skin cells) of the stratum basale layer of the epidermis. Note: The Melanocyte cells also reside in the stratum basale.

Are the oldest epidermal cells found in the stratum basale?
Yes, the oldest epidermal cells are found in the stratum basale. This layer, also known as the basal layer, is the deepest layer of the epidermis and is responsible for the continuous production of new cells. As cells are pushed upwards, they become older and eventually reach the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum, where they are shed.
Where were the cells of stratum corneum initially produced?
stratum basale
What is the epidermal layer containing the oldest cells?
The stratum Basale contains the most cells of the epidermis. Through the process of enucleation and apoptosis, the number of cells decrease as you move up the strata (layers).
The Stratum Corneum sits deep to the Stratum Basale?
The stratum corneum is superficial to the stratum basale. The stratum basale is deep to the stratum corneum.
Where are stem cells located on your skin?
stratum basale
Which doesn't belong prickle cells stratum basale stratum spinosum and cell shrinkage?
Stratum Basale. The cells in the Stratum Spinosum are spiny shaped and are called prickle cells. These arise during tissue preparation when the cells shrink.
Where would you find melanocytes and tactile cells?
Stratum Basale or Germinativum Some 10-25% of the cells in the stratum Basale are melanocytes, and their branching processes extend among the surrounding cells, reaching well into the more superficial Stratum Spinosum layer. Occasional Merkel cells are also seen in this stratum.
What occurs in the stratum basale?

Which Layers of epidermis that contain living cells?

The reproducing cells of the epidermis are found in the?
Stratum basale
