Stratum corneum

The stratum corneum (Latin for 'horned/horny layer') is the outermost layer of the epidermis of the tetrapod skin. In human skin, it consists of a stratified squamous epithelium made of 15 to 20 layers of corneocytes, flattened, terminally differentiated keratinocytes that have lost their nuclei or organelles. The filamentous keratin within the cytoplasm…
