MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The outermost layer of the epidermis (stratum corneum) holds in water and keeps your skin hydrated and healthy. Producing new skin cells. New skin cells develop at the bottom layer of your epidermis (stratum basale ) and travel up through the other layers as they get older.

Detailed explanation-2: -The human stratum corneum comprises 15 or so layers of flattened corneocytes and is divided into two layers: the stratum compactum and the stratum disjunctum. The stratum compactum is the deep, dense, cohesive layer, while the stratum disjunctum is looser and lies superficially to the stratum compactum.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stratum corneum is a semipermeable barrier that serves as a physiological barrier from external agents including bacteria, fungi, and chemicals while preventing the loss of fluids and solutes from the internal environment. It is thickest on the palms and soles.
