How does the structure of the epidermis of the skin relate to its function?

Question 30

What are three types of cytoskeletal elements? For each, indicate the subunits they are composed of, their relative size, and major functions.

Question 31

How is the dynamic nature of microtubules and microfilaments important to their functions?

Question 32

What are three types of motor proteins? For each indicate which cytoskeletal element it interacts with and it’s function?

Question 33

Would a defect in dynein or in kinesin cause a zebra fish embryo to remain darkly colored after daybreak?

Question 34

What are the major types and functions of cell junctions?

Question 35

Adherins junctions and desmosomes both attach cells to other cells and are made up of cadherins. How, then, are they different?

Question 36

What do you think would happen if you interferes with the function of cadherins and integrins?

Question 37

What are two effects that the extracellular matrix can have on cells?
