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.


Does stratum germinativum contain keratin?

No, the stratum germinativum, also known as the stratum basale, is the deepest layer of the epidermis responsible for cell division and production of new skin cells. Keratin is found in the outermost layers of the epidermis, particularly in the stratum corneum, where it serves a protective function.


Epidermal region exhibitng the most rapid cell division?

No. The Stratum Granulosum is deteriorating organelles. The Stratum Basale, or Stratum Germinativum, is the "Germinating layer". The most rapid cell division occurs here, of course, because it's closest to the vascular dermis.


What does stratum germinativum produce epidermal epithelial cells through?

The stratum germinativum, also known as the basal layer of the epidermis, produces epidermal epithelial cells through a process called mitosis. In this layer, basal cells continuously divide and push older cells upwards toward the surface of the skin. As these cells migrate, they undergo a process of keratinization, eventually forming the outer protective layer of the skin. This regenerative process is essential for maintaining the integrity and health of the epidermis.


What is the name of the thickest layer of epidermis?

The Stratum Germinativum is the deepest layer of the dermis also known as the Stratum Basale.

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.


Stratum basale and stratum spinosum together may be called?

The stratum basale and the stratum spinosum together are called the epidermis.


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.

The layer that contains the mitotic viable cells of the epidermis?

The layer that contains the mitotic viable cells of the epidermis is the stratum basale (basal layer). This layer is responsible for constant cell renewal through mitotic division. Cells in this layer eventually differentiate and move upward through the epidermis to form the outer layers of the skin.
