5
What is the extra layer in thick skin
Lucidum (stratum lucidum; 4th layer)
Is the dermis vascular or avascular
Vascular
-bleeding if you get cut
Subcutaneous layer/hypodermis
Deep to the dermis but not a part of the skin
What tissues does subcutaneous layer/ hypodermis consist of
Areolar
Apidose
What extends from the dermis to anchor the skin to the subcutaneous layer?
Fibers
What does the subcutaneous layer serve as?
Storage deposits for fat
Large blood vessels to supply to skin
What are lamellated corpuscles
Nerve endings sensitive to pressure
What type of tissue does epidermis consist of?
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
What are the four major cells of the epidermis
Keratinocyte
Melanocytes
Intraepidermal macrophage cell
Tactile epithelial cell
What do keratinocytes produce
Keratin-a protein
Lamellar granules-release a water repellent sealant that decreases water entry and loss
Melanocytes
- 8%of epidermal cells
- Produce the pigment melanin that protects against damage by ultraviolet radiation
