What else can I help you with?
What is stratum basal?
It is apart of the skin and hair shaft
Where does the epidermis grow from?
The epidermis forms from key specialised stem cells found deeper under the outer layer. These stem cells are found in or on top of the dermis and grow into the epidermis. These cells in grow in layers and as the layers age, the cells undergo a process called 'keratinisation' almost completely changing into the protein keratin. The last part of the cell that is converted is the nucleus.
Is the outer layer of the skin made of liveing cells?
The outer layer of the skin, called the epidermis, is mostly made up of dead skin cells called keratinocytes. However, the deepest layer of the epidermis contains living cells that are responsible for producing new skin cells.
Which part of the skin contains dead cells?
The outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis, contains dead skin cells that are constantly shed and replaced by new cells. This layer helps to protect the skin from external elements and plays a role in maintaining the skin's barrier function.
What is basal layer?
A basal layer is the deepest layer of the epidermis.
Which layer of skin is composed of dead keratinized cells?
The upper layer of skin i.e. Epidermis is composed of dead Keratinized epithelium cells.
How many layers does the epidermis have in hair?
how many layer of cells make up upper epidermis and lower epidermis

Which layer of the skin produces the skin cells?
The Bascal Cell Layer, the deepest layer where cells divide to produce new skin cells.
Which epidermal layer has single layer of columnar cells?
The epidermal layer with a single layer of columnar cells is the stratum basale (basal layer). This layer is located at the bottom of the epidermis and contains basal cells that constantly divide to replenish the upper layers of the skin.
What layer of skin that contains the blood vessels and nerves closest to the surface of of the skin is?
The upper layer of the skin is called the 'epidermis'. In birds, it contains no nerve cells, and their Merkel cells are located in the dermis. However, in most animals it contains a scattering of nerve cells called Merkel cells, located at the basal layer. The middle layer of the skin is called the 'dermis.' It contins blood vessels, most of the nerve cells, and other structures. The lower layer of the skin is called the 'sub-cutis' and mostly contains fat.
Like your skin a leafs what protects its more tender inner cells?
tissues are layers of similar cells. the outside layer of a leaf is called the epidermis tissue. the epidermis is made of flat cells . this layer is like the top layer of your skin. it protects the plant.
Is the result of activity of the cells found in the basal layer?
Yes, the cells in the basal layer of the skin are responsible for cell division and renewal. As they divide and multiply, they give rise to cells that eventually move upwards to form the upper layers of the skin.
What epidermis layer does nails grow on?
Nails grow on the nail bed, which is part of the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis. The visible part of the nail is actually composed of dead cells that have been pushed out from underneath the skin.
Is the outer layer of the skin made of liveing cells?
The outer layer of the skin, called the epidermis, is mostly made up of dead skin cells called keratinocytes. However, the deepest layer of the epidermis contains living cells that are responsible for producing new skin cells.
Which layer of skin is most effected by a vitamin c deficiancy?
upper layer of the skin
