reticular layer
Cell division occurs primarily in what layer of the skin?
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.
What layer of the epidermis is the layer where mitosis occurs?
We find it in the deepest layer of the epidermis called Stratum Basal in which the stem cells undergo Mitosis replacing keratinocytes lost at the stratum corneum, the apical surface of epidermis.
What is the outermost layer of the epidermis?
The outermost layer of the epidermis is the stratum corneum. The cells of the stratum corneum are dead, and this layer provides a protective layer for the other parts of the epidermis.Stratum corneum is the outer most layer.The outermost layer of the epidermis is the stratum corneum.The inferior layers below the stratum corneum are (from most superficial to most deep):Stratum lucidum (which is absent from hairless skin)Stratum granulosumStratum spinosumStratum basaleKeratin layer
Which of the epidermis is most superficial?
The Stratum Corneum is the most superficial layer of the Skin.
Is the outermost layer of the epidermis the stratum basale and the innermost layer the stratum corneum?
The stratum basale and the stratum corneum are two of the layers of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of your skin. Within the epidermis, the stratum basale is deeper than the stratum corneum, which is the most superficial layer of the epidermis.
