Lable the components in the slide image below
![The image depicts a histological section showing hyperkeratosis in the epidermis, marked by the thickening of the stratum corneum.
**Key Features:**
1. **Hyperkeratosis:** The image clearly shows an increase in thickness of the outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum), indicated by the arrows. This is a common feature in various skin conditions.
2. **Epidermal Layer:** Beneath the thickened stratum corneum, the epidermis can be seen with its undulating pattern, possibly indicating acanthosis, which is the thickening of the stratum spinosum.
3. **Dermal Layer:** Below the epidermis, the dermis appears less dense and is not the primary focus of this image.
The arrows are pointing to the areas where hyperkeratosis is prominently visible. Understanding such histological changes is crucial in diagnosing and studying various dermatological conditions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fc3f7b4d9-3a9d-42c3-9c07-9251b508fc7a%2F92c22dfc-40f3-4c34-a8c1-e2d0ac1a4ca6%2Fe594z7y_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
