Why are the cells in the stratum corneum dead? Multiple Choice О Once they reach the skin surface, exposure to environmental stresses, like drying and UV light, kills the cells. О Epidermal cells die as they move away from their nutrient supply in the dermis. о All cells in your body die after about a month, which is how long it takes for a cell to reach the stratum corneum. Accumulating keratin filaments dry out the cytoplasm and kill the cell.
