The stratum lucidum is part of the 5 layers of the epidermis respectively: stratum basale or stratum germinative, stratum granulosum, Stratum spinosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum.

In the anatomical structure of the skin, we find the stratum spinosum or Malpighi’s layer, which lies precisely between the stratum granulosum and the basal layer.

In the heart of the dermis we find the stratum basale, in anatomical terms better known as the germinative layer, which forms the base of the epidermis (skin). It is one of the 5 layers and is located at the deepest part, below the stratum spinosum. A membrane called the basal marks the boundary line

The Stratum Granulosum is part of the 5 main layers of the epidermis. It is located below the Stratum Lucidum and has flattened cells typical of the upper, stratum lucidum. These, when they still have a nucleus, are pushed upwards by the reproductive activity of the lower layers. Contents1 Stratum Granulosum of the skin: so

The stratum corneum constitutes the outermost part of the skin; we can consider it a true protective envelope. The stratum corneum consists of two very important compartments: let’s find out together what they are.
