Description:
Cell layers of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin. The innermost cells of the epidermis are continuously dividing through mitosis to form new cells. The newly formed cells move up through the epidermis toward the skin surface and die by the time they reach the surface, the stratum corneum. English labels.
