Q

Stratum germinativum layer:

A
  • Also called stratum basale
  • Contains hemidesmosomes that attach to the basal lamina
  • Basal cells divide through mitosis and replace (differentiate into) more superficial keratinocytes
  • Contains melanocytes (pigment cells)

Q

Stratum spinosum layer:

A
  • Cells pushed from stratum germinativum
  • Cells start to differentiate to keratinocytes, which have multiple layers, still dividing
  • Participate in immune response

Q

Stratum granulosum layer:

A
  • Darker layer because of granules inside cells
  • Cells pushed up from stratum spinosum
  • Keratinocytes of multiple layers but less now; not dividing (still alive)
  • Granules are made of vesicles with heratohyalin inside - helps cells further differentiate into keratin (start to dehydrate)

Q

Stratum lucidum layer:

A
  • Not always there; thick skin has it (hands/feet), thin skin does not
  • covers stratum granulosum
  • flattened and densely packed cells filled with keratin

- Associated with hair follicle

45
Q

Sebaceous follicle:

A

Collection of sebaceous glands which are not associated with hair follicles
