4 layers from bottom to top: - stratum basalis - stratum spinosum - stratum granulosum - stratum corneum
EPIDERMIS epidermis is like a wall with bricks. the bricks are the keratinocytes.
spinosumdesmosomes look like spines. form most of the epidermis.
keratinocytes die here.
Stratum corneum
Stratum spinosum (Lamellar granules)
filaggrin is the glue that keeps keratinocytes together.
Stratum granulosum (Filaggrin)
base: keratinocytes that
Stratum basalis
divide and will give origin to keratinocytes at the top
