tyoe of cells found in in epidermis
stratified epithelium keratinocytes
predominant cell in epidermis
keratinocytes
five layers of epidermis
Stratum basale, spinosum,granuolsum, lucidum, corneum
shape of stratum basale
columnar
where are melanocytes
basale
whats in spinosum–
lagerhans, desmosomes connect kerratincocytes,
which cell has no nucleus
dead keratinocytes in corneum
which layer has flattened keratinocytes
luciderm– thickness related to mitosis
what is and casues carcinom in situ
carcinoma that is limted by DEJ
what makes basal lamina
lamina densa–collegen type 4
lamina lucida
whats anchor epithilium to basement –
cell adhesion molucuels or matrix
meissners nerve
touch
pacinian
pressure
what cells are found in dermis
fibroblast, macrophages, mast cells
what makes up connective tissue
collegen - tensile strngth
elastin
ground substance

abscess
verrucous lesion
wart like
borrow ink test
detect burrow, ink penetrates burow
Tzanck test
scrpaed blister roof – stained and detect herpee, varicella— mutilnuclieted giant cells
dark field microscopy
diagnose early syphylis
patch testing
testing to see if a substance causes inflamamtion on skin
