Solution

The layers of the epidermis and their features are as follows:

  1. Stratum Basale: This is the deepest layer of the epidermis, consisting of a single row of cuboidal or columnar cells that divide and grow.

  2. Stratum Spinosum: This layer contains many layers of cells with centrally located, large, oval nuclei and developing fibers of keratin.

  3. Stratum Granulosum: This layer has three to five layers of flattened cells that contain shrunken fibers of keratin and shriveled nuclei.

  4. Stratum Lucidum: This layer is only found in thick skin and is characterized by clear cells.

  5. Stratum Corneum: This is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of many layers of keratinized, dead cells.
