28
Q

In which layer do the Cells contain nothing more than a bag of keratin (dead keratinocytes with lots of keratin protein)

A

Stratum lucidum

29
Q

Which layer of the skin do the cells begin to produce keratin?

A

Stratum spinosum

30
Q

In which layer of the skin do the cells become flattened?

A

Stratum Spinosum

31
Q

Which layer of the skin Have Langerhans cells and melanin granules ?

A

Stratum spinosum

32
Q

What do merkel cells detect?

A

Light, touch, and pressure

33
Q

Which Specialized cells in the epidermis are 90% of all cells in the epidermis?

A

Keratinocytes

34
Q

Which Specialized cells in the epidermis produce keratin that waterproofs and protects skin?

A

Keratinocytes

35
Q

Which Specialized cells in epidermis produce darks pigment (melanin) that provides color of skin (and hair)?

A

Melanocytes

36
Q

Which cells absorb radiation?

A

Melanocytes

37
Q

Which Specialized cells in the epidermis protects the skin from U.V. light, and is found in the deepest layer?

A

Melanocytes

38
Q

Which type of Specialized cells in epidermis are easily damaged by sunshine?

A

Langerhans cells

39
Q

Which type of Specialized cells in epidermis are part of the immune system & interact with white blood cells and protect from infection?

A

Langerhans cells

40
Q

How do merkel cells function in touch?

A

By contacting the flattened process of a sensory nerve called a merkel disc

41
Q

Which type of Specialized cells in epidermis detect light, touch, and pressure and are found in the stratum basale?

A

Merkel cells

42
Q

What do langerhans cells look like?

A
43
Q

What do merkel cells look like? And what are they associated with?

A
44
Q

Describe the process of keratinization

A

Cells die and produce outer layer that resists abrasion and forms permeability layer

45
Q

Which cells desquamate (Older cells slough off/brushed off your body)?

A

Keratinocytes

46
Q

What cells transfer pigment to

keratinocytes?

A

Melanocytes

47
Q

What is the color range of melanocytes?

A

Yellow to brown to black

48
Q

Amount of melanin produced depends upon?

A

genetics and exposure to sunlight

49
Q

What causes and increase in melanin production?

A

Uv radiation

50
Q

Skin color varies depending on the:

A
51
Q

What are the neg effects of UV radiation?

A
52
Q

What are the layers of the dermis?

A
53
Q

What does each layer of the dermis contain?

A

Papillary layer: blood vessels, lymph, free nerve endings, and meissners corpuscles

Reticular layer: contains network of collagen and elastic fibers to resist tension, has hair follicles, nerves, sebaceous glands, and sweat
glands

54
Q

What increases the surface area of the dermis papillary region?

A

Surface area of this region increased by dermal papillae which indent the epidermis in conical ridges

55
Q

Which dermis layer is bigger?

A

The dermis-reticular region: it’s the lower 4/5th of the dermis

56
Q

Which layer attaches to the hypodermis?

A

Dermis-reticular region

57
Q

What are are responsible for finger prints?

And what do fingerprints help with?

A
  1. Surface area of this region increased by dermal papillae which
    indent the epidermis in conical ridges
  2. Epidermal ridges are downward projections of epidermis between
    the papillae and increase surface area of epidermis

= finger prints help with friction

58
Q

Why is the Interface between the papillary layer and reticular layer
indistinguishable ?

A

because the two layers are continuous with each other

59
Q

What kind of tissue is present in the dermis- papillary region?

A

Areolar connective

60
Q

What kind of tissue is found in the Dermis-reticular region?

A

dense irregular connective tissue with collagen and course elastic fibers

61
Q

What do the collagen bundles and elastic fibers in the dermis reticular region provide?

A

strength, extensibility, and elasticity of skin

62
Q

What does extreme stretching of the skin cause?

A

striae (stretch marks)

63
Q

What sensory receptors are found in the reticular layer of the dermis? And what do they respond to?

A
64
Q

Arrector pili muscles are usually found in the skin, but where can you also find them?

A

Skin of the penis and scrotum and the areola around the nipples

65
Q

What is the Reticular Layer of the Dermis composed of?

A

dense, irregular collagenous connective tissue, displaying thick type I collagen fibers specially abundant near sebaceous and sweat glands

66
Q

What are langer’s lines and what direction should u make an incision?

A
67
Q

Describe the different types of scar tissue formation
