what are squamous cells called?
keratinocytes
what is the epidermis
Surface epithelial layer in contact with external environmentw
what is the dermis
Middle layer with blood vessels, glands, nerves
what is the hypodermis (subcutis)
deepest layer with adipose tissue
what is the skin histology
stratified squamous keratinised epithelial cells (epithelium)
dense irregular connective tissue with elastic and collagen fibres (dermis)
loose connective and adipose tissue (hypodermis)
what is the order of stratum from superficial to deep
corneum
lucidum
granulosum
spinosum
basale
what is the stratum basale
attached to dermis and is one layer of germinal cells attached to basement membrane
what is the stratum spinosum
composed of keratinocytes
what is the stratum granulosum
composed of keratinocytes with granules in them
what is the stratum lucidum
refractive zone found in thick skin
what is the stratum corneum
thick and contains dead cells
what is the dermis histology
papillary layer
dermal papillae
papillar capillaries
reticular layer
what is the upper respiratory tract epithelium
ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
what is the lower respiratory tract consisted of
simple squamos epithelium
what does the epithelial layer consist of
goblet cells (produce mucus)
basement membrane (for structure)
strong blood supply
