  • Stratum Basale
  • Stratum Spinosum
  • Stratum Granulosum
  • Stratum Lucidum (found in palmo-plantar skin)
  • Stratum Corneum

Also remember, Basale is the base/deepest layer as the name denotes.

Temperature of human skin is 32-34 C (90-93 F). It is also the temperature at which Mycobacterium Leprae grows best.
Normal turnover time of epidermis is 4 weeks. Now, can you guess the turnover time in Psoriasis? It is 4 days!
Melanocytes are present in Stratum Basale.
Dermatophytosis (fungal infections) are usually restricted to the Stratum Corneum layer of the skin.
