⩥ skin is the largest organ par of. Answer: integumentary system
⩥ the largest organ in the body by weight is the. Answer: skin
⩥ Skin and Its tissues. Answer: composed of epidermis and dermis
separated by basement of membraned
contains subcutaneous layers
⩥ subcutaneous layers. Answer: binds skin to underlay organs
stores fat
contains blood vessels supply skin
⩥ Epidermis. Answer: stratified squamous epithelium
lacks blood vessels
deepest layer : stratum basal
undergoes keratinization
,outermost layer: stratum corneum
protects underlying tissues against water loss , mechanical injury, and
effects of harmful chemicals
melanin are found
ridges projects inward
⩥ Stratum basale. Answer: deepest layer of epidermal cells
close to dermis nourished by dermal blood vessels
cells divide
as the basal cells of this layer divide and grow old cells pushed up past
dermis to surface
upper less nutrients
⩥ Keratinization. Answer: keratinocytes
harden
cytoplasm fill with stands of tough , fibrous, waterproof keratin proteins
⩥ Epidermis thickness. Answer: varies among region
deepest to superficial
stratum basale
stratum spinsum
stratum granulosum
, stratum corneum
stratum lucid
⩥ stratum corneum. Answer: many layers of tough
tightly packed dead cells accumulate outermost layer of epidermis
dead epidermal layer
⩥ the layer of epidermal cells containing older keratinized cells and
dead cells. Answer: stratum corneum
⩥ stratum lucid:. Answer: thickened and hairless glabrous skin of palms
and sole
⩥ Healthy skin. Answer: doesn't wear away
increased pressure / rubbed increase rate of cell division resulting in
callus
