integument part 2 Flashcards
corneum
dead cells with hard protein envelope surrounded by lipids
lucidum
dead cells that have keratinohyalin
-only in thick skin
granulosum
-formation of the keratinohyalin and hard protein envelope
-llamelar bodies release lipids
-cells die and nucleus break down
-water barrier formed by lamellar bodies
-non dividing cells are filled with granules of keratin
spinosum
keratinocyte are separates
basal
site of mitosis
-have desmosomes and a basement membrane
langerhans cells
in the prickle cell layer
-macrophages
merkel cell
in the basal cell layer
dermis
connective tissue
water barrie
under karatinized cells above keratohyalin granules
keratinocytes
90% of the epidermal cells
-make keratin
keratin
fibrous protein that waterproofs skin
melanocytes
8% of the epidermal cells that make melanin
-protect karatinocyte dna from sun
-have dendrites , nucleus, rough er, golgi, mitochondrion, melanosome and granules
langerhans
come from red bone marrow that migrate to epidermis
-immune response
-dendritic phagocytic
merkel cells
least amount of these in the epidermis, deepest layer (basale)
-touch sensation
-sensory nerve endings
corneum
dead anucleated cells
-thickened cell membrane and cytoplasm filled w keratin
-20-30 layers
stratum spinosum
also has desmosomes (membrane linked by filaments)
stratum lucidum
palms and soles of feet and lips (thick skin) and fingertips
-clear flat dead cells with keratin 3-5 layers
flaggrin
protein that cross links keratin
