| 1. | The thickness of the " stratum corneum " varies throughout the body.
|
| 2. | The rest of the skin below the stratum corneum cannot absorb water.
|
| 3. | The carboxylic acid coated particles did not penetrate past the stratum corneum.
|
| 4. | The stratum corneum has a thickness between 10 and 40 ?m.
|
| 5. | The stratum corneum provides the most significant barrier to diffusion.
|
| 6. | Corticosteroids are absorbed at different rates depending on the thickness of the stratum corneum.
|
| 7. | Eleidin is then converted to keratin in the stratum corneum.
|
| 8. | The overall integrity of the stratum corneum is maintained by specialized intercellular proteins called corneodesmosomes.
|
| 9. | In general, the " stratum corneum " contains 15 to 20 layers of dead cells.
|
