Question

What is the Stratum Granulosum?

Answer 1

Stratum Granulosum:

1. The stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale or germinativum are the five layers that make up the human epidermis.
2. Between the stratum spinosum and the stratum corneum (and, if present, the stratum lucidum) is the stratum granulosum layer.
3. The keratinocytes of the stratum granulosum are distinctively granular in appearance. These keratinocytes are consequently known as granular cells.
4. They contain keratohyalin granules, which aid in the keratin filaments' ability to adhere to one another.
5. According to one theory, the granular layer receives, transforms, and delays input signals from a range of senses, including touch, vision, and balance, and then uses these altered signals to produce reactions that support the muscles of the body.
