<P> At the transition between this layer and the stratum corneum, cells secrete lamellar bodies (containing lipids and proteins) into the extracellular space . This results in the formation of the hydrophobic lipid envelope responsible for the skin's barrier properties . Concomitantly, cells lose their nuclei and organelles causing the granular cells to become non-viable corneocytes in the stratum corneum . </P> <Ul> <Li> <P> Epidermis and dermis of human skin </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Section of epidermis </P> </Li> </Ul> <Li> <P> Epidermis and dermis of human skin </P> </Li> <P> Epidermis and dermis of human skin </P>
