Answer 2

STRATUM CORNEUM

Stratum Corneum does not constitute an appendageal route.

STRATUM CORNEUM : OUTERMOST LAYER OF EPIDERMIS

* The stratum corneum, which is the epidermis's outermost layer, is the body's first line of defense, acting as a protective skin barrier against the external environment.

* The stratum corneum is made up of corneocytes, which are a nucleated keratinocytes that have achieved the last stage of keratinocyte development and help in hydration and water retention, preventing skin breaking.

* The stratum corneum is the body's initial line of defense against the outside world. Differentiation of the keratinocytes generated in the stratum basale to the a nucleated corneocytes that make up the stratum corneum is the objective. The epithelium's most superficial layer prevents desiccation and acts as a barrier against the environment.
