Stratum Corneum.
The most superficial epidermal layer is the stratum corneum. It is composed of dead keratinocytes that are constantly shedding or sloughing off. This layer acts as a protective barrier for the skin against environmental stressors.
Stratum corneum
Muscle tissue is deep to epidermal tissue. Epidermal tissue is superficial to muscle tissue.
The epidermal cells that are actively mitotic and replace superficial cells are found in the stratum basale, also known as the basal layer or stratum germinativum.
No. The subcutaneous layer is under the epidermis. The word "superficial" can be defined as "outermost" for the purpose of describing skin layers, so the most superficial layer is the epidermis.
The Stratum Corneum is the most superficial layer of skin.
The adventitia is the outermost or most superficial layer of the esophagus.
Malignant melanoma arises in the Stratum basale layer of the epidermal layer.
stratum basale
The most inferior epidermal layer is the stratum basale, also known as the basal layer. It is the deepest layer of the epidermis and is responsible for cell renewal and regeneration. Cells in this layer are constantly dividing to replace older cells that are shed from the skin's surface.
The Stratum Corneum is the most superficial layer of the Skin.
The layer below the Epidermal layer is called the Dermal layer. It's a connective tissue made up of collagen and elastin.
