Spinous cell, the Glossary
Spinous cells, or prickle cells, are keratin producing epidermal cells owing their prickly appearance to their numerous intracellular connections.[1]

Biological barrier
A biological barrier is a natural selectively permeable membrane that protects certain organs or tissues by allowing some substances to pass through them, and blocking entry of other substances.
See Spinous cell and Biological barrier
Desmosome
A desmosome ("binding body"), also known as a macula adherens (plural: maculae adherentes) (Latin for adhering spot), is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion.
See Spinous cell and Desmosome
Epidermis
The epidermis is the outermost of the three layers that comprise the skin, the inner layers being the dermis and hypodermis.
See Spinous cell and Epidermis
Keratin
Keratin is one of a family of structural fibrous proteins also known as scleroproteins.
Keratinocyte
Keratinocytes are the primary type of cell found in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.
See Spinous cell and Keratinocyte
Skin
Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation.
Squamous-cell carcinoma
The term squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as epidermoid carcinoma, comprises a number of different types of cancer that begin in squamous cells.
See Spinous cell and Squamous-cell carcinoma
Stratum basale
The stratum basale (basal layer, sometimes referred to as stratum germinativum) is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis, the external covering of skin in mammals. Spinous cell and stratum basale are Epithelial cells.
See Spinous cell and Stratum basale
Stratum granulosum
The stratum granulosum (or granular layer) is a thin layer of cells in the epidermis lying above the stratum spinosum and below the stratum corneum (stratum lucidum on the soles and palms). Spinous cell and stratum granulosum are Epithelial cells.
See Spinous cell and Stratum granulosum
Stratum spinosum
The stratum spinosum (or spinous layer/prickle cell layer) is a layer of the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale. Spinous cell and stratum spinosum are Epithelial cells.
