Stratum lucidum

Index Stratum lucidum

The stratum lucidum (Latin for "clear layer") is a thin, clear layer of dead skin cells in the epidermis named for its translucent appearance under a microscope. [1]

11 relations: Eleidin, Exocytosis, Keratin, Keratinocyte, Lamellar bodies, Melanosome, Microscope, Mitosis, Stratum corneum, Stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum.

Eleidin

Eleidin is clear intracellular protein which is present in the stratum lucidum of the skin.

Exocytosis

Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo- + cytosis) by expelling them through an energy-dependent process.

Keratin

Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins.

Keratinocyte

A keratinocyte is the predominant cell type in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, constituting 90% of the cells found there.

Lamellar bodies

In cell biology, lamellar bodies (otherwise known as lamellar granules, membrane-coating granules (MCGs), keratinosomes or Odland bodies) are secretory organelles found in type II alveolar cells in the lungs, and in keratinocytes in the skin.

Melanosome

A melanosome is an organelle found in animal cells and is the site for synthesis, storage and transport of melanin, the most common light-absorbing pigment found in the animal kingdom.

Microscope

A microscope (from the μικρός, mikrós, "small" and σκοπεῖν, skopeîn, "to look" or "see") is an instrument used to see objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye.

Mitosis

In cell biology, mitosis is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.

Stratum corneum

The stratum corneum (Latin for 'horny layer') is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead cells (corneocytes).

New!!: Stratum lucidum and Stratum corneum · See more »

Stratum granulosum

The stratum granulosum (or granular layer) is a thin layer of cells in the epidermis.

New!!: Stratum lucidum and Stratum granulosum · See more »

Stratum spinosum

The stratum spinosum (or spinous layer/prickle cell layer) is a layer of the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale.
