Layers Flashcards
Continuously proliferating Stratified Squamous
Epithelium
Epidermis
Provides/Produces a non-living surface layer of
protein
Epidermis
In direct contact with the external
environment
epidermis
Associated with lipids
EPIDERMIS
This constantly shed
epidermis
what tissues compose dermis
fibrous and fibro-adipose tissue
this support epidermis physically and metabolically
dermis
what protein is in epidermis
keratin
this is 0.07 to 0.12 mm
epidermis
surface epithelium of epidermis
Stratified squamous keratinized epithelium
layer for mitosis in epidermis
germinal basal
what production associated with germinal basal layer?
keratinocytes
true or false: germinal basal layer is in continuously in mitosis
true
they are make up mostly of epidermis
Keratinocytes
this means the peeling of the skin
desquamation
Rate of mitosis = Rate of desquamation
Average: 15-30 days; 25 to 50 days
this is the major distinction between thick and thin skin
epidermis
75 to 150 um
thin skin
400 to 1400 um
thick skin
germinal layer
stratum basle
constant supply of new keratinocytes
stratum basale
stratum Basale has this figures which constantly produce new keratinocytes
mitotic figures
cells shape in stratum basale
cuboidal or low columnar
stratum basale cells are attached to the basement membrane via?
hemidesmosomes
cells stratum basale are attached to each other by
desmosomes
nucleus: Large ; cytoplasm: ?
basophilic
thickest sublayer of epidermis
stratum spinosum
Large, cuboidal to polygonal, some flattened cells
Stratum Spinosum
Numerous cytoplasmic prickles
and adjacent cells are bound by ?
desmosomes
stratum spinosum nucleus location?
central
cytoplasm of stratum spinosum
basophilic
what does cytokeratin form
intracellular fibrils
what is cytokeratin?
(synthetic fibrillar protein)
These spaces are occupied by
seemingly spinous structures called
tonofibrils
