In which layer of epidermis cell divison occurs:
-
Stratum Spinosum
-
Stratum Corneum
-
Stratum Germinative
-
Stratum Lucidum
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is Stratum Germinative. This layer of the epidermis is also known as the basal layer and is responsible for cell division. It is located at the bottom of the epidermis and contains stem cells that continuously divide and differentiate into new skin cells. These new cells then move up through the other layers of the epidermis, eventually reaching the surface and replacing old, dead skin cells.
