General structure of the Adult Epidermis
This cartoon shows keratinocyte differentiation (cornification) within overall structure of the skin epithelium. In addition, the cellular junctions are also indicated.
- stratum basale - (basal layer) keratinocytes proliferate by mitosis. This layer also contains the stem cell population.
- stratum spinosum - keratinocytes reinforce their cytoskeletal keratin filament network and adjacent cells interact through desmosomes.
- stratum granulosum - keratinocytes become more flattened and express proteins that aggregate to form keratohyalin granules. Lipids are also produced and stored in lamellar bodies.
- stratum corneum - keratinocytes lose their organelles, including the nucleus, and become the dead, flattened corneocytes.
