What is important about the stratum basale?
It is where cell division occurs
Hyperkeratosis
increased division and layers of tissues
stratum corneum
contains keratinocytes (think horn)
What layer of skin determines the thickness

T/F: the hypodermis is composed of areolar tissue
True

1 - hair
2 - glands
3 - pads
4 - chestnuts, ergots
5 - claws and hooves
6 - horns
7 - cutaneous
What layer of the skin invaginates to become a hair follicle

False - smooth muscle movement is involuntary
What is the difference between guard hairs and wool hairs
guard hairs are the protective outer coat of all domestic animals except sheep; wool hairs is the undercoat of sheep
What are tactile hairs? Give an example
modified guard hairs surrounded by a blood sinus
whiskers
How do tactile hairs work?
movement of the hair is amplified by blood via a wave that stimulates nerves
Lanolin
produced by sheep sebaceous
what gland produces protein-rich secretions
sweat
what gland produces oily sebum
sebaceous
What is the difference between apocrine and eccrine sweat glands
other than size, apocrine is protein-rich and associated with smell, and eccrine is watery
Ceruminous glands produce
earwax
