STRATUM GERMINATIVUM

Scientific Study
Structure & Functions
A cell that has originated in the stratum germinativum undergoes what is known as a mitotic division, the new cell will go through a process known as keratinization as it makes its way to the surface.
Mitotic division is another term for the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the name given to the type of cell division that causes one cell to divide, thus creating more cells that are identical in nature to the original cell.

This is the deepest layer of the epidermis and it is here that new cells are generated for the renewal of the epidermal layers of the skin. A process of cell division referred to as mitotic division is responsible for the generation of the new epidermal skin cells.

The stratum basale (basal layer, sometimes referred to as Stratum Germinativum) is the deepest layer of the five epidermis layers, which is the outer covering of skin in mammals. The stratum basale is a continuous layer of cells.
Why Is It Important?
STRATUM GERMINATIVUM
The stratum germinativum has been found to play an important role in healing certain types of injuries to the skin, particularly thermal injuries. Scientific study involving this layer have dramatically increased the success rates of skin grafts, particularly those necessary due to third degree burns. Early skin grafts only included the top two layers of skin.
