integument Flashcards
what does the integument include?
skin sweat glands sebaceous gland hair and nails.
what are the function of the skin
protection, body temp regulation, reception, absorption, excretion.
where is thick skin found
palms and soles of feet
where is thin skin found
everywhere else
what does thin skin contain
hair follicle arrector pili muscles, sabaceous glands, sweat glands
what is the epidermis
the epithelial layer of skin contain stratified squamous keratinized
what is the dermis
loose CT dense irregular collagenous ct
which layer is avascular
the epidermis
what are the two cell types of the epidermis
keratinocytes and nonkeratinocytes
what is the diffence between the keratinocytes and the non
the keratinocytes have accumulated keratin filiments renewed at night desquamate every 20-30 days.
in what section of the slide would mitotic division occur in keratinocytes
the basal layer next to the membrane anchored with hemidesmosones
what time of day does mitosis take place in your keratinocytes
in the dark
what are the three types of nonkeratinocytes
langerhands cells merkel cells and melanocytes
what is the role of langerhans cells
defense cells protect from forieng antigens
derived from bone marrow reside in statum spinosum and interact with lymphocytes
what is the role of merkel cells
mechanoreceptors fine detial touch sensation.
found in statum basale form merkel cell neurite complexes with unmyelanated nerve terminals
fingertips
what is the role of melanocytes
sun umbrellas protect DNA from UV light form melanin
where do langerhans cells derive from
precursors inn the bone marrow go to blood stream then go to epidermis and stratam spinosum
what does a birmeck granule(veriform granules) inside of a langerhans cell look like
vessicle portion connected to a rod like extension
where are merkel cells found in abundance
finger tips and base of hair follicles
where is the merkel cell located
at the basal layer statum basale
what form the merkel cell neurite complexes
merkel cell and unmyelinated nerve terminal
what are melanocytes derived from
the neural crest
what do melanocytes make
melanin
where are melanocytes found in a cell
in the stratum basale and superficial dermis
what part of the melanocyte makes tyrosinase
the RER makes it and GA packages it into melanosomes
what parts of the epidermis have more melanocytes
the parts that are more exposed to the light
what causes races to have diffenent skin coloration
the number of melanocytes is the same it’s the activity of tyrosinase numver of melanin granulas sice and distribution and rate of breakdown of the granuals
