16
Q

Stratum Granulosum

A 
keratinocytes become flattened (programmed destruction of nucleus/organelles)
Keratohyalin granules (from keratin/filaggrin crosslink)
darkly basophilic granular appearance - filaggrin attaches keratin to desmosome for mechanical strength of epidermis
17
Q

what allows for waterproofing

A

lamellar bodies release lipid into intercellular spaces in stratum granulosum – seals spaces between cells

18
Q

Stratum Spinosum

A

several layers of squamous epithelial cells: keratinocytes – has cytoplasmic projections. forms intercellular bridge held by desmosomes

19
Q

cell-cell adhesion

A

desmosomes/macula adherens

20
Q

Langerhan cell

A

derived from monocyte
APC
all layers of thick and thin epidermis, mainly in stratum spinosum

21
Q

Keratinocytes - components

A

Made by keratinocytes:

  • Keratin: protective protein. composed in part by intermediate filaments of cytoskeleton
  • Lamellar bodies: lipid filled, non-membrane bound

Made by melanocytes, taken up by keratinocytes:
- melanin granules

22
Q

Stratum basale

A

single layer
Cuboidal cells - hemidesmosomes

  • keratinocyte stem cells
  • melanocytes
23
Q

cell-ECM attachment

A

hemidesmosome

24
Q

melanin derived from

A

neural crest cells

tyrosine – DOPA
protects DNA, absorbs/scatters UV radiation

25
Q

Two forms of melanin

A
  • Pheo-melanin: red-yellow

- Eu-melanin (brown-black)

26
Q

Normal aging of the skin

A
  • 30-35 yr
  • thinning of epidermis
  • reduced subcut fat, BV, hair foll, seb glands, sweat ducts
  • loss of collagen fibril production —> wrinkles
27
Q

layers of epidermis - top to bottom

A

Stratum:

  • Corneum
  • Lucidum
  • Granulosum
  • Spinosum
  • Basale
28
Q

STILL NEED DERMIS/HYPODERMIS/FASCIA

A

Dermal layer:
- papillary layer: loose, ir CT.

Meissner

  • Reticular layer: dense ir CT. Dermatan sulfate, large collagen fibers in parallel/longitudinally in limbs, circumferentially in neck/trunk. Elastic fibers.

Pacinian

29
Q

Rete ridges vs dermal papilla

A

Rete: epidermal downgrowths btwn dermal papillae, divides primary dermal ridge

Dermal papilla: projections that interdigitate overlying epidermis

30
Q

Finger/toe prints

A

primary dermal ridges

- two dermal papilla with intervening rete ridge or interpapillary peg. Carried to surface of the epidermis

31
Q

Found in Hypodermis

A
  • adipose tissue
  • BV
  • Fat
  • Loose CT
  • nerves
32
Q

All three layers of skin are receptive to touch, pain, temp

T/F

A

True

33
Q

potential tracts for spread of infection

A

deep fascia

eg retropharyngeal abscess
