Stratum corneum
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.
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.
The Stratum Corneum is the most superficial layer of the Skin.

Stratum basale
The stratum basale, also known as the basal cell layer, is the epidermal region involved in rapid cell division. It is the deepest epidermal layer where actively dividing stem cells are found, giving rise to new keratinocytes that migrate toward the skin surface.
stratum basale
Muscle tissue is deep to epidermal tissue. Epidermal tissue is superficial to muscle tissue.
Stratum Germinativum
Stratum Basale
Stratum granulosum
