The ultrastructure of epidermal maturation in the skin of the boa constrictor (Constrictor constrictor)

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1970
The epidermis of the boa constrictor (Constrictor constrictor) has five histologically distinct strata. Ultrastructurally these mature in one of two patterns. The mesos, alpha, lacunar, and clear strata resemble in their ultrastructural maturation, the external root sheath of the hair below where there is keratohyalin. The mature alpha and clear strata
