Q

How is the epidermis made?

A

  • These cells divide to produce new epidermal cells
  • New skin cells become flattened and hardened as they push to the surface.
  • In the Region of Keratinization cells produce a waterproof substance called keratin .
  • The outer skin cell layers are dead and keratinized producing a waterproof layer.

48
Q

Accessory Organs of the Skin

A
  • Nails are derived from the epidermis. Their function is: they offer a protective covering
  • Hair follicles are derived from the dermis. Hair grows from epidermal cells
  • Oil glands are associated with hair. They produce sebum. The function of this is:
  • -lubricates hair and skin
  • -retards bacterial growth
  • Sweat glands are derived from the dermis and help regulate body temperature.
