Q

thin clear zone between the
stratum granulosum and
stratum corneum

A

stratum lucidum

17
Q

most superficial stratum of the epidermis
consists of dead squamous cells filled with keratin
Keratin gives the stratum its structural
strength.
cells are also coated and
surrounded by lipids, which
help prevent fluid loss
through the skin.

A

Stratum corneum

18
Q

Excessive sloughing of stratum corneum cells from the surface of the scalp

A

Dandruff

19
Q

Over a bony prominence, the stratum corneum can thicken to form a cone-shaped structure

A

corn

20
Q

skin subjected to friction, the number of layers in the stratum corneum greatly increases, producing a thickened area

A

Callus (Hard Skin)

21
Q

composed of dense collagenous connective tissue containing fibroblasts, adipocytes, and macrophages
Nerves, hair follicles, smooth muscles, glands, and lymphatic vessels extend into the dermis.

A

Dermis

22
Q

Layer of Dermis

A

Papillary Layer
Reticular Layer
