    ) Stratum Basale/Germinativum Mostly of the stem cell population, a. Columnar b. Cuboidal 2.) Stratum Spinosum exhibits spiny projections a.k.a prickly cells 3.) Stratum Granulosum Flattened, has lamellated granules or keratohyaline granules. Produces lipid secretions that would serve as a water sealant. 4.) Stratum Lucidum Present only in areas with thick hairless skin. 5.) Stratum Corneum Superficial layer, the cells are actively producing keratin. Accessory Structures Outgrowths of the epidermis 1.) Hair Cylinders of keratin that projects from the surface of the skin. Fused dead keratinocytes. a. Hair shaft Projects outside b. Hair root Deep inside
