*Cells in the stratum lucidum or ‘clear layer’, are anuclear, and this layer is rich in protein-bound lipids. This layer is best developed in footpads and can also be seen in the nasal planum. It is not seen in other areas of the skin.

*The most distal layer or stratum corneum, is the skin layer in contact with the environment. It is the fully cornified layer and is made of flattened, anuclear, densely packed keratinocytes.
