4
Q
EPIDERMIS
A
- stratified squamous epithelium
- main cell type = keratinocytes
- hemidesmosomes to basal lamina
5
Q

A
4 layers of keratinocytes
6

5 layes of keratinocytes
7
Q
Epidermal layers - superficial to deep
A
- Stratum Corneum
- Stratum Lucidium
- Stratum Granulosum
- Stratum Spinosum
- Stratum Basale (germinativum)
8
Q
Stratum Corneum
A
- “horn”
- dead cells tightly interconnected by desomosomes
- water resistant
- 15-30 layers of keratinocytes
9
Q
Stratum Lucidium
A
- “clear”
- thick skin only
- acked with keratin and devoid of organelles
10
Q
Stratum Granulosum
A
- “grainy”
- large amounts of protein keratin and keratohylain
- 3-5 layers of keratinocytes
11
Q
Stratum Spinosum
A
- “spiny”
- 8-10 layers of keratinocytes
- includes Langerhans (dendritic) cells
12
Q
Stratum Basale (Germinativum)
A
- anchored to basal lamina
- epidermal ridges which interlock with dermal papillae
