Block 3 - Integument Flashcards
part of skin that is keratinized cornified stratified squamous epithelium
epidermis
epidermis cells are called blank
keratinocytes
layer of collagenous connective tissue under skin
dermis
thick or thin skin refers to thickness of the blank
epidermis
these are most numerous in thick skin and doesnt have hair or sebaceous gland
sweat glands
not an official layer of skin and contains superficial fatty fascia
hypodermis
in thin skin, all blank strata are thinner especially blank
epidermal, stratum corneum
layer of epidermis that has a single layer of cuboidal or columnar cells
stratum basale
stratum basale has many blank between adjacent cells and blank between cell and basal lamina
desmosomes, hemidesmosomes
stratum basale has blank filaments and a blank cytoplasm
intermediate, basophilic
layer of epidermis when cells pull apart except at desmosomes, and there are increased intermediate filaments
stratum spinosum
layer layer of epidermis that contains two types of granules including keratohyalin, lamellar or membrane coating
stratum granulosum
basophilic granules rich in protein, no membrane, not exported, filaments pass through them
keratohyalin
granules seen only under EM, have membrane, are exocytosed, make lipid coating for keratinocytes
lamellar (membrane coating)
layer of epidermis that is thin white and unstained, densely packed keratin filaments, thick plasmalemma, identifiable only in thick skin
stratum lucidum
stratum lucidum is identical to blank
stratum corneum
layer of epidermis that is keratinized flat “cells”, for wear and tear, cytoplasmic sacs filled with keratin filaments in an amorphous matrix
stratum corneum
three non keratinocytes in epidermis
melanocytes, langerhans cells, merkel cells
