What else can I help you with?
Epidermal cells that are actively mitotic and replace superficial cells that are continually rubbed off are what type of stratum cell?
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.
What are the ridges of the stratum germinativum called?
The ridges of the stratum germinativum are called dermal papillae. These structures help anchor the epidermis to the dermis and play a role in increasing surface area for nutrient exchange between the layers.
What are translucent cells containing keratin called?
Translucent cells containing keratin are called squamous cells. These cells are flat and scale-like in shape, and they form the outermost layer of the skin.
When is keratin deposited in the epidermal cells?
Keratin is deposited in epidermal cells during the process of keratinization, which occurs as these cells move from the deeper layers of the epidermis to the surface. This process generally begins in the stratum basale and continues through the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum, where the cells start to produce keratin and other proteins. As they reach the outermost layer, the stratum corneum, the cells become more flattened and are eventually shed, forming a protective barrier for the skin.
Epidermal layer just interior to stratum granulosum?
The epidermal layer just interior to the stratum granulosum is the stratum spinosum. This layer is composed of living keratinocytes that help provide strength and structure to the skin. The stratum spinosum is important for cell turnover and the production of keratin.
Is the stratum basale the same as stratum germinativum?
The epidermal layer. (below that is the acellular dermal layer)
How long does it take a cell to move from the stratum germinativum to the stratum corneum?
It takes anywhere from 15 to 30 days for cells to migrate from the stratum germinativum to the stratum corneum.
Stratum germinativum the deepest layer of cells in the epidermis can also be called?
The stratum germinativum, the deepest layer of the epidermis, is also referred to as the stratum basale. This layer contains actively dividing cells, including keratinocytes, which produce keratin and contribute to the skin's protective barrier. It also houses melanocytes, responsible for melanin production, and Merkel cells, which are involved in sensation.
What is another name for stratum basale?
stratum germinativum is also know as stratum basale
The term stratum germinativum is sometimes used to refer to the?
stratum basale
The stratum corneum contains large amounts of?
Keratinocytes of the stratum corneum contain large amounts of keratin protein.
Which epidermal stratum could find many phases of mitosis?
Stratum Germinativum
What are the ridges of the stratum germinativum?
They are called corns.
Which skin cancer starts in the stratum germinativum?

Is there more keratin in the dermis or the stratum corneum?
Yes, the stratum corneum is notable for its keratin content.
What collectively form the stratum germinativum?

Layer of the epidermis that is constantly undergoing mitosis is called?
The layer of the epidermis that is constantly undergoing mitosis is called the stratum basale, also known as the basal layer. This layer is responsible for producing new skin cells that eventually move up through the other layers of the epidermis.
