What is the Stratum Spinosum (Prickly Layer) - Answer--
Several cell layers thick
-cells contain a weblike system of intermediate prekeratin
filaments attached to desmosomes.
-Keratinocytes appear to have spines and are scattered
among abundant melanin granules and Langerhans' cells.
(4th deepest layer of epidermis)
What is the stratum lucidum? - Answer-2nd layer of
epidermis (not always there)
What do molecules combine to form? - Answer-Combine
to form cells
What is the stratum granulosum (granular layer)? -
Answer--thin; three to five cell layers in which cells flatten
-keratohyaline and lamellated granules accumulate
,2|Page
- Moisture content is approximately 9-16% in this layer
-Cells die as no longer receiving nourishment
(3 middle layer of epidermis)
where is the stratum granulosum Found? - Answer-3rd
layer of the epidermis
Describe Leukonychia - Answer-Also known as white
spots, whitish discoloration of the nails caused by tiny
bubbles of air caused by injury. (Non impact) (Will grow
out over time.)
What is the integumentary system? - Answer-Consists of
the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail
What are Corrugations? - Answer-Wavy ridges caused by
uneven nail growth; usually result of illness or injury.
(No impact) (Treatment: Buff over nails, keep hydrated
with oil.)
What is the definition of Anatomy? - Answer-The study of
body structure
,3|Page
What is the stratum germinativum (stratum basale)? -
Answer--deepest live layer of the epidermis
-produces new epidermal skin cells (mitosis)
- Moisture content approximately 83%
What is the stratum corneum? - Answer-1st layer of
epidermis (outermost)
What forms Chemicals? - Answer-atoms combine to form
molecules
What are Furrows (corrugations)? - Answer-Deep
horizontal ridges in the plate. Caused by illness trauma or
malnutrition. No treatment required. (Non impact)
What is the definition Physiology? - Answer-The study of
body function
What is pterygium? - Answer-Hardened growth of the
cuticle which has grown over and stuck to the nail plate.
, 4|Page
(non impact.) (Treat with regular manicures soften with
paraffin or oil. Push back and can be removed with cuticle
nippers.)
What is the lymphatic system? - Answer-Lymph and
Lymph nodes protect against disease, transport fats and
produce white blood cells.
Where is the stratum spinosum found? - Answer-4th layer
of epidermis (prickly layer)
What forms Organs - Answer-Groups of tissues
What is Stratum corneum (horny layer)? - Answer--20 to
30 cell layers of dead, flat keratinized, membranous sacs,
-accounts for up to 3/4s of epidermal thickness.
-Cells held together by inter cellular cement
Dead skin cells constantly shedding (Desquamation)
-Functions: Protects from abrasion and penetration,
Waterproofs, Barrier against biological, chemical, and
physical assaults
