Lecture 13 - Dev of the Integument Flashcards
Periderm
- Single layer of ectodermal cells
* Formed by end of first mont
Three-layered epidermis
- Formed by end of third month
- Basal (germinative) layer
- Intermediate layer
- Superficial peridermallayer
Intermediate layer
Stratum spinosum
Stratum granulosum
Loss of integrins attached to basal lamina
Inactivation of p63
Role of apoptosis
- Postnatal layers of epidermis during sixth month
* Peridermal cells undergo apoptosis
Stratum granulosum
Interconnected by fillagrin
Stratum spinosum
Appearance of keratohyalin granules
Epidermal Ridges/Creases
fingerprints
by the end of the third month of gestation, fetuses have fingerprints
Immigrant Cells
Melanoblasts
Langerhans’ cells
Merkel cells
Melanoblasts:
- From neural crest
- Migrate into dermis and then into epidermis
- Stain with HMB-45
- Produce pigment by mid-pregnancy
Langerhans’ cells:
- Derived from bone marrow
* Antigen-presenting cells
Merkel cells
- From neural crest
* Slow-adapting mechanoreceptors
Origin of Dermal Cells
Dorsal surface of body
Mesenchyme from dermatome
Origin of Dermal Cells
Ventral and lateral surfaces of body
Mesenchyme from lateral plate mesoderm
Mesenchymal cells can develop into ___ cells under influence of ___.
Dermal Cells
Wnt
Dermal Cells
Loosely aggregated; Interconnected by tight junctions; Secrete thin watery matrix rich in glycogen and hyaluronic acid;
express Dermo1
can produce mesenchymal cells again, which give rise to fibroblasts
