Q

hin layer of cells in the epidermis. Keratinocytes migrating from the underlying stratum spinosum become known as granular cells in this layer

A

stratum granulosum

17
Q

a layer of the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale. Their spiny (Latin, spinosum) appearance is due to shrinking of the microfilaments between desmosomes that occurs when stained with H&E.

A

stratum spinosum

18
Q

is the deepest layer of the five layers of the epidermis, the outer covering of skin in mammals. … The stratum basale is primarily made up of basal keratinocyte stem cells, which can be considered the stem cells of the epidermis.

28
Q

bodily fluids that are typically pale yellow and transparent and of a benign nature. The fluid fills the inside of body cavities.

A

serous fluid

29
Q

a mesothelial tissue that lines certain internal cavities of the body, forming a smooth, transparent, two-layered membrane lubricated by a fluid derived from serum. The peritoneum, pericardium, and pleura are serous membranes.

A

serous membrane

30
Q

an epithelial tissue that secretes mucus and that lines many body cavities and tubular organs including the gut and respiratory passages.

A

mucous membrane

31
Q

skin = Integumentary system. We have the epidermis which is the outer epithelium tissue and dermis is the connective tissue. 2. Mucous (mucosa) membranes line the insides of hollow organs that open to the outside.

A

cutaneous membrane

32
Q

A mucous membrane or mucosa is a membrane that lines various cavities in the body and surrounds internal organs. It consists of one or more layers of epithelial cells overlying a layer of loose connective tissue. … Some mucous membranes secrete mucus, a thick protective fluid.
