Corneum is the most superficial layer of the epidermis. The basale layer is the deepest layer of the epidermis
The cells of the basale are cube shaped and alive. The cells of the corneum are dead and filled with keratin, the same as found in nails and hair.
The cells of the stratum corneum are sqamous-shaped, amitotic (dead actually), and contain a high percentage of keratin. Cells of the statum basale are columnar-shaped, actively mitotic and has relatively little keratin.
the corneum is the most superficial layer of the epidermis. the basale is the deepest layer of the epidermis.
