Horny Layer

The topmost layer of the epidermis; also called the stratum corneum

Question: What are the Italian definitions of the layers of the skin? For example. The Horny Layer - Stratum Corneum. etc etc etc... Please state the layer and it's correct definition. Thanks. =]

Answer: Something new today I am learning -- this would appear to be Latin rather than Italian? If so, the substrata (underlayers) of the epidermis (outer skin) are: Stratum corneum Stratum lucidum (not present in thin skin areas, only thick, hairless skin of palms & soles) Stratum granulosum Stratum spinosum Stratum germinativum (also called "stratum basale") This list is from "superficial" to "deep," and there are no generally accepted "common" names
