1. 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 external covering of skin in mammals. The stratum basale is a single layer of columnar or cuboidal basal cells. The cells are attached to each other and to the overlying stratum spinosum cells by desmosomes and hemidesmosomes. The nucleus is large, ovoid and occupies most of the cell. Some basal cells can act like stem cells with the ability to divide and produce new cells, and these are sometimes called basal keratinocyte stem cells. Others serve to anchor the epidermis glabrous skin (hairless), and hyper-proliferative epidermis (from a skin disease).They divide to form the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum, which migrate superficially. Other types of cells found within the stratum basale are melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) and Merkel cells (touch receptors).

1. stratum basale

   The stratum basale, also known as the basal layer or basal cell layer, is the innermost layer of the epidermis in the skin. This layer contains cells that are continuously dividing and producing new epithelial cells, pushing older cells towards the skin's surface where they will eventually shed off. It houses various types of cells such as keratinocytes, melanocytes and merkel cells, and is responsible for the regeneration of the epidermis. The stratum basale plays a key role in skin health, making new cells and producing melanin which protects against UV radiation.

1. Stratum basale

   The stratum basale is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis, which is the outer covering of skin in mammals. The stratum basale is a continuous layer of cells. It is often described as one cell thick, though it may in fact be two to three cells thick in glabrous skin and hyperproliferative epidermis. The stratum basale is primarily made up of basal keratinocyte cells, which can be considered the stem cells of the epidermis. They divide to form the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum, which migrate superficially. Other types of cells found within the stratum basale are melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells.
