To provide strength and flexability to the skin.
the stratum basale aka germinitivium is the stratum that has miotic division of cells and there is some cell production in the stratum spinosum as well
The Stratum Basale
In germinative layer: the stratum basale and stratum spinosum of the epidermis considered as a single layer; the term is sometimes used to denote only the stratum basale.
The stratum basale (the bottom layer of cells in the epidermis) functions to provide a constant source of new cells to form the skin. This counterbalances the number of cells lost at the surface.
Cell division occurs in the stratum basale of the epidermis. The epidermis is made up of 5 layers. From outer to inner these layers are: stratum corneum, stratum licidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. The basale is the innermost layer of the epidermis and is where cell division occurs.
cell division to produce new keratinocytes.
Stratum lucidum (in thick skin) is a well defined epidermal layer found under the corneum region of the skin of the palms and soles. Main function of this stratum is to help the skin handle friction and also waterproof it. It is a thin transitional layer of epidermis found between the 'horny' and 'granular' layers.
The second epidermal layer of the sole of the foot is called the stratum spinosum. It is composed of several layers of keratinocytes, which are cells that produce keratin, a tough protein that provides strength and protection to the skin. The stratum spinosum is involved in the barrier function of the skin and helps to prevent water loss.
Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum,stratum lucidum & stratum corneum
The stratum corneum is superficial to the stratum basale. The stratum basale is deep to the stratum corneum.
"Stratum" is the singular.If you have a stratum and I have another stratum, then together we have two strata .

Stratum Corneum Stratum Lucidum Stratum Granulsum Stratum Spinosum Stratun Basle
Stratum Granulosum NO. The correct answer is Stratum Spinosum. Mitotic cells produced by the Stratum Basale move out to the Stratum Spinosum. You can find several layers of keratinocytes with thick bundles of intermediate filaments.
stratum germinativum is also know as stratum basale
The singular form of "stratum" is "stratum." The word does not change in its singular form.
The plural form of stratum is strata.
