Diagram of the skin's upper layer
called the epidermis (outer paper-thin envelope). Diagram shows the
layers which comprise the epidermis including the dead horn layer
known as the stratum corneum, the final layer of transition between
the dead and alive layers called the granulosum and the live prickle
cell layer as well as the basal layer which lies against the dermis
(leather layer of the skin). Note the individual melanocyte or pigment
cells that are found along the basal layer.
