Block1/Fig 9. Epidermis of the thick skin.

block1_24.jpg - Fig 9. Epidermis of the thick skin. The epidermis of the skinis composed of stratified squamous epithelium (SSE) that iskeratinized. Especially on the palms of the hands and solesof the feet, the epidermis has an outer keratinized layer,stratum corneum (SC), that is substantially thicker than thatover the other parts of the body, referred to as thick skin.The cells of the basal layer are usually cuboidal or columnar.As the cells produced by mitosis are moved outward intoprogressively more superficial layers they become moredifferentiated and tend to become squamous (used inclassifying the epithelium). The stratum corneum (SC) iscomposed of dead cells that have no nuclei.
