Stratum spinosum

Index 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. [1]

8 relations: Desmosome, Epidermis, H&E stain, Keratin, Spinous cell, Stratum basale, Stratum granulosum, Tonofibril.

Desmosome

A desmosome ("binding body"), also known as a macula adhaerens (plural: maculae adhaerentes) (Latin for adhering spot), is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion.

Epidermis

The epidermis is the outer layer of the three layers that make up the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.

H&E stain

Hematoxylin and eosin stain or haematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E stain or HE stain) is one of the principal stains in histology.

Keratin

Keratin is one of a family of fibrous structural proteins.

Spinous cell

Spinous cells, or prickle cells, are keratin producing epidermal cells owing their prickly appearance to their numerous intracellular connections.

Stratum basale

The stratum basale (basal layer, sometimes referred to as stratum germinativum) is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis, the outer covering of skin in mammals.

Stratum granulosum

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

Tonofibril

Loops of tonofibrils at a desmosome. --> Tonofibrils are cytoplasmic protein structures in epithelial tissues that converge at desmosomes and hemidesmosomes.
