3 Flashcards
How long is the average life of keratinocytes
14-28 days
25-45 days
7-14 days
36-90 days
25-45 days
what cell is stimulated by the hormone epidermal growth factor
melanocytes
macrophages
carotene
keratinocytes
keratinocytes
melanin is generated by the
melanocytes
phagocytes
keratinocytes
macrophages
melanocytes
dendritic cell are also known as
macrophages
connective tissue
fibroblasts
lunula
macrophages
macrophages have migrated from
the brain
the heart
bone marrow
dermis
bone marrow
what is the top layer of the epidermis
stratum lucidum
stratum corneum
stratum granulosum
stratum spinosum
stratum corneum
which cells are flat and anucleated
stratum spinosum
stratum granulosum
dermis
stratum corneum
stratum corneum
what layer is 2-3 rows of clear, flat, dead keratinocytes that is found only in thick skin of soles of feet and palms of hands
melanosomes
subcutaneous tissue
stratum basale
stratum lucidum
stratum lucidum
place the layers in order of most superficial to least
1) stratum lucidum
2)stratum basale
3) stratum corneum
4) stratum spinosum
5) stratum granulosum
a) 1, 3, 4, 5, 2
b) 3, 1, 5, 4, 2
c) 3, 1, 4, 5, 2
d) 1, 5, 3, 2, 4
b) 3, 1, 5, 4, 2
where does the protein keratin accumulate
papillary layer
stratum granulosum
stratum basale
superficial fascia
stratum granulosum
stratum basale is the mid layer that renews keratinocytes for the overlying epidermis
T or F
F
its the deepest layer
what cell secretes collagen proteins that are used to maintain a structural framework
dermal papillae
macrophages
phagocytes
fibroblasts
fibroblasts
mast cells respond to infection by releasing histamines which causes
vasoconstriction
sweating
vasodilation
folds in the skin
vasodilation
which is not included in the matrix
lacunae
collagen
reticular fibers
elaston
lacunae
when the dermis is stretched you are left with
flexure lines
blisters
friction ridges
stretch marks
stretch marks
