Fields: Intro Integumentary System Flashcards
germ layer that forms epidermis
ectoderm
germ layer that forms dermis
mesoderm
development of epidermis where ectoderm forms periderm
1-2 months
this is a greasy substance that prevents fluid loss; formed in first 2 months of epidermis development
Vernix Caseosa
development stage of epidermis where epidermis is developed and then periderm starts shedding
2.5-5 months
stage of epidermis development where periderm is completely shed
6 months
happens when periderm remains at birth
collodion baby
addition of new cell layers
stratification
skin cells that form the epidermis
keratinocytes
length of travel for keratinocytes and then what happens when they finish their passage
4 weeks; desquamation
4 signaling molecules that stimulate proliferation of new cell layers
TNF
EGF
FGF
TGFalpha
signaling molecule that decreases proliferation of new cell layers
TGFbeta
congenital anomaly caused by excessive keratinization and sweat glands fail to develop; high fevers
Hypohidronic Ectodermal Dysplasia (HED)
type of hypohidronic ectodermal dysplasia caused by gene mutation where you can still live normal life, just no cure
Lamellar Ichthyosis
a group of skin disorders that lead to dry, itchy skin that appears scaly, rough, and red
Ichthyosis
a type of hypohidronic ectodermal dysplasia due to gene mutation where there’s only a 2 month life expectancy
Harlequin Fetus
normal amount of time for skin to shed
28-40 days
example of excessive keratinization where skin sheds weekly; autoimmune disorder
Plaque Psoriasis
most diverse epidermal layer; contains not only keratinocytes, but also melanocytes and merkel cells
stratum basale
stratum basale is also called what b/c stem cells are produced there
stratum germinativum
this is caused by mutation in laminin 5, which attaches stratum basale to basement memebrane
junctional epidermolysis bullosa
epidermis still intact but separated from dermis and blisters (bulla) all over body
JEB (junctional epidermolysis bullosa)
cells that reside in stratum basale and produce melanin
melanocytes
free nerve cell terminals in palmar and plantar epidermis that reside in stratum basale
merkel cells
derived from bone marrow/sclerotome and involved in cell-mediated immunity; migrates to stratum spinosum
Langerhan’s cells
transports tyrosine to melanocyte
p-protein
converts tyrosine into melanin in the melanocyte
tyrosinase
