dense connective tissue, thicker than epidermis
what is bellow the dermis
subcutaneous or hypodermis
what are the functions of the subcutaneous tissue
anchor
absorb shock
insulation
gives body curves
what are the layers in order from booton to top of the epidermis
stratum basale/germinativum spinosum granulosom lucidum corneum
What layer of the epidermis is only present in thick skin
stratum lucidum
Functions of stratum basale
- vascular so where mitosis occurs
- millions a day
- contain melanocytes which make melanin
- merkel cells sensitive to touch
functions of stratum spinosum
- mitosis occurs less
- cells start to produce keratin
Functions of granulosum
where cells flatten and start to die
3-5 thick
Function of stratum lucidum
- cells are all flat
- all cells are dead
- only in extra thick skin, palms and soles
function of stratum corneum
- main protective layer
- 20 to 30 thick
- rubs off an flakes
- main waterproof part
what are dead cells called
cornified, or horny cells/ cornu - horny
