As these keratinocytes die, they replace the cells shed from the horny layer.

The bone was probably overlain by a tough, horny layer of keratin.

You can find products designed to slough off the horny layer at drug stores and cosmetics counters.

The horny layer of your skin isn't the most attractive; dead skin is often dry and dull-looking.

Beneath the horny layer are younger, living cells (called keratinocytes) that form the middle epidermal layer.

The "hyper sensitive" front paws are protected by a thin horny layer which becomes pliable when wet.

A spur is built much like a horn, with a bony core attached to the skeleton, and with an outer horny layer.

Dead skin cells are shed from the outermost layer of your skin's surface - the stratum corneum, or horny layer.

Males also have a strong pad on the inner side of the first finger, covered during the breeding season with a greyish brown velvet-like horny layer.

I noted that my right big toenail was in danger of ingrowing and my lit tie toenails were too thin and lacked several protective horny layers.

The loss of this horny layer of the skin, which protects the underlying layers, leaves the skin more vulnerable to dryness and cracking of the skin.

On the short, cylindrical rete Malpighii cells are flattened cells that gradually become very flat and lose their nuclei as they pass over into the horny layer.

Their tough soles (undivided sole has two large toes that spread wide apart) have a horny layer which gives them the ability to walk on harsh and hot stony or sandy grounds comfortably.

The stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin also called the "horny layer") contains a "lipid domain" that allows the dye to pool and provide opportunity to diffuse into the body.

Sometimes they can be soft, pink, or white "cauliflower-like" sessile growths on moist mucosal surfaces (condyloma accuminatum), or keratotic lesions on squamous epithelium of the skin with a thick, horny layer.

These effects include removing fat emulsion, defatting of dermal lipids, inflicting cellular damage on the epithelium, and increasing the transepidermal water loss by damaging the horny layer water-binding mechanisms and damaging the DNA, which causes the layer to thin.

The individual cells of the horny layer are usually easily isolated in the belly and neck regions where they never become very thick; but in the back the cells in this layer are very numerous and fuse with each other to form the bony plates; here the rete is the only clearly differentiated layer.

Most of that function is played by the stratum corneum.

Moisturizers increase the level of water in the stratum corneum.

The thickness of the stratum corneum varies throughout the body.

Protective oils in the stratum corneum are lost when skin is dry.

The stratum corneum provides the most significant barrier to diffusion.

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of skin on your body.

The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers.

This can damage the stratum corneum, or uppermost layer of skin.

It penetrates the stratum corneum outer layer of skin well.

The flat dead skin of her stratum corneum.

All of the action in microdermabrasion takes place at the level of the stratum corneum.

This allows the stratum corneum to be exfoliated, exposing live skin cells.

Dry, cracked skin is a direct result of a lack of water in the stratum corneum.

Blank L: Factors which influence the water content of the stratum corneum.

Eleidin is then converted to keratin in the stratum corneum.

The amount of sunscreen that penetrates through the stratum corneum may be large enough to cause damage.

One reaction is to increase stratum corneum turnover and so shed the fungus from the skin surface.

In fact, the stratum corneum is the barrier to approximately 90% of transdermal drug applications.

Corticosteroids are absorbed at different rates depending on the thickness of the stratum corneum.

The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum.

They eventually reach the top layer called 'stratum corneum' and are sloughed off, or desquamated.

The carboxylic acid coated particles did not penetrate past the stratum corneum.

This complex surrounds cells in the stratum corneum and contributes to the skin's barrier function.

The stratum corneum is thickest on the hands and feet, protecting them from wear and tear.

What you can touch is the stratum corneum, a layer of flat, dead skin cells pushed up by the new cells under them.
