Q

Epidermis

A
  • Stratified squamous epithelium
  • Keratinocytes: produce keratin
  • Cells are in layers
  • Separated from dermis by basal membrane
  • Avascular

Q

Keratinization

A

Cells move through layers, fill with keratin and die
Surface cells resist abrasion and forms permeability layer

Q

Psoriasis

A

Cells move through epidermal layers in days instead of weeks, so cells pile up on surface before having a chance to mature
White scales: keratin + immature cells
