Clear transparent layer of epidermis under the stratum corneum. Contains clear cells; thickest on the palms and soles.
Stratum Lucidum
Also known as the granular layer; layers of the epidermis composed of cells filled with keratin that resemble granules; replaces cells shed for the stratum corneum. Additional lipid production and excretion; desmosomes dissolved by enzymes.
Stratum Granulosum (Granular Layer)
Also known as the spiny layer; layer of the epidermis above the stratum germinativum. Large layer, cell activity, desmosomes created, Langerhans immune cells, melanosome pigment distribution.
Stratum Spinosum (Spiny Layer)
Also known as the basil cell layer; active layer of the epidermis above the papillary layer of the dermis. Composed of a single layer of basal cells laying on the basement membrane. In this active layer cells undergo continuous cell division (mitosis) to replenish the regular loss of skin cells shed from the surface and is responsible for growth. Also contains melanocytes (produce pigment), melanosomes, (produces melanin) and melanin (determines skin, eye, and hair color)
Stratum Germinativum (Basal Cell Layer)
Also called the derma, corium cutis, or true skin, is the support layer of connective tissues, collagen, and elastin below the epidermis. 25 times thicker than the epidermis and consists of two layers. Supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients.
Dermis
Fibrous, connective tissue made from protein; found in the reticular layer of the dermis; gives skin its firmness. Topically , a large, long-chain molecular protein that lies on the top of the skin an binds water; derived from the placentas of cows or other sources. Makes up 70% of the dermis.
Collagen
Protein fiber found in the dermis; gives skin its elasticity and firmness.
Elastin
Top layer of the dermis. Connects the dermis to the epidermis, forming the epidermal/dermal junction. Comprises 10-20% off the dermis.
Papillary Layer
The denser and deeper layer of the dermis comprised mainly of collagen and elastin. That supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients contains fat cells, blood vessels, sudoriferous (sweat) glands, hair follicles, lymph vessels, arrector pili muscles, sebaceous (oil) glands, and nerve endings. Damage to these elastin fibers as they break down are the primary cause of sagging, wrinkles, and aging; loss of elasticity in the skin. Stretch marks ae caused from damaged elastin fibers.
Reticular Layer
Also know as hypodermis, composed of loose connective tissue or subcutis tissue, also known as adipose tissue. This layer is 80% fat. This tissue creates a protective cushion that gives contour and smoothness to the body, as well as providing a source of energy for the body.
Subcutaneous Layer
A fibrous protein that provides resiliency and protection to the skin. Principal component of skin, hair, and nails. Found in all layers of the epidermis. ____ ______ is the protein found in hair and nails.
Keratin. Hard Keratin.
Shedding off of dead skin cells. Also know as cell turnover.
Desquamation
The structures that assist in holding cells together; intercellular connections made of proteins.
Desmosomes

Cells found in the epidermis
Continuous cell division. Mother cells divided to for two daughter cells. Happens in the Stratum Germinativum.
