Q

Subcutaneous tissue?

A

Consists of fat
Attached to deep fascia
Thickest → in palms & soles
Thinnest → in eyelids

17
Q

Describe cells in epidermis?
Where are they derived from?

A

Local cells → keratinocytes → develop from ectoderm
Immigrant cells → melanocytes→ neural crest cells →→→ develop elsewhere & migrate to epidermis
→ Merkle calls → neural crest cells
→ langerhan cells → derived from mesenchyme

18
Q

Keratinocytes?

A

Proliferate (divide) → in basal layer
Differentiate in → stratum spinosum & stratum granulosum
Completely mature & die in → stratum corneum

19
Q

Melanocytes

A

Max number is in → skin of genitalia

20
Q

Langerhan cells

A

These are APC → in stratum spinosum
Reduced in » aging, bcc, SCC, sarcoidosis & aids
Increased in → oral lichen planus, langerhau cell histiocytosis, contact hypersensitivity

21
Q
