Epidermal cells form the epidermis, the outermost of the three layers that together constitute the skin. Histologically, the epidermis is composed primarily of four tightly adherent layers of squamous epithelium organized into distinct vertical zones by stages of differentiation. From innermost to outermost, the layers are: stratum basale (basal cell layer), stratum spinosum (spinous layer), stratum granulosum (granular layer), and stratum corneum (cornified layer). The epidermis consists largely of keratinocytes (>90%) but also contains melanocytes, Langerhans cells, Merkel cells, and inflammatory cells.
