Malpighian layer

A pock may be regarded as essentially a lesion of the epidermis, for it is in that structure that its most striking features are developed, and in some cases, although doubtless the papillary layer of the derma is congested, there is no permanent alteration of tissue below the Malpighian layer of the epidermis.

These last form a single superficial layer of flattened cells—the epitrichium—overlaying the cells of the Malpighian layer, which are cylindrical in shape and rapidly increase to form several layers.

The cells of the Malpighian layer within the cone now become differentiated into three layers.

It is the Malpighian layer of the epidermis that is most active in cell division.

Do not ask him to take a malpighian layer off her cell nest just to please me.
