lect 26 & 27 (T3): integument Flashcards
what does the dermis of the skin correspond to
lamina propria of a mucous membrane
what are characteristics of the primary dermal ridge
related to finger prints
found everywhere except forehead, external ear, perineum, and scrotum
formed during 3rd to 4th months of fetal life
subdivided into 2 secondary dermal ridges by inter papillary peg
what is the inter papillary peg
downward growth of epidermis along crest
what are characteristics of the secondary dermal ridge
occur in double rows, branched
thin, collagenous, reticular and elastic fibers
what is the dermal papillae
upward projections from each secondary dermal ridge
what are characteristics of thick skin
occurs only on palms and soles and is hairless
displays all 5 epidermal layers
what are characteristics of thin skin
occurs over rest of body thinnest in eyelids thickest on back thicker on extensor surfaces than flexor epidermal layers less distinct and lacking stratum lucidum
what are the layers of the epidermis
stratum basale (deepest) stratum spinosum stratum granulosum (represented by only a few cells in thin skin) stratum lucidum (absent in thin skin) stratum corenum (most superficial)
what types of cells are in the stratum basale
single layer cells held together by desmosomes (hemidesmosomes hold layer to basal lamina)
what does mitotic activity in the stratum basal produce
stem cells differentiating keratinocytes
what type of cells are in the stratum spinosum
polyhedral shaped cells (prickle cells)
what keratins are in stratum spinosum
keratins 1 and 10 (high molecule weight)
what keratins are in stratum basale
keratins 5 and 14 (low molecular weight0
what do the lamellar bodies in stratum spinosum contain
lipid, carbs, and hydrolytic enzymes
what do tonofibrils do
form intercellular bridges
what are characteristics of stratum granulosum
multilayerd keratins 2e and 9 flattened nucleated keratinocytes keratohylain aggregates membrane-coating granules (lamellar bodies) tonofilaments
keratokyalin aggregates do what
filagrin induces cross-linkage of keratin filaments by disulfide bonds
no limiting membrane
what are characteristic lucidum
flat keratinocytes lacking nuclei and organelles
only found in thick skin
contains eleiden
what are characteristics of stratum corneum
multilayered
thicker in thick skin
enucleated, flattened, dead keratinocytes
cytoplasm replaced by keratin
cytoplasm contains: keratin cross-linked with filaggrin (cornified cell envelope)
