Melanin - (answers)Grains of pigment that gives skin & hair its color
Carotene - (answers)yellowish pigment from carrots and tomatoes
What are the three layers of skin? - (answers)epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous
layer
Epidermis is also known as? - (answers)the scarfskin and/or the cuticle layer
Keratization - (answers)The process of living cells moving upward and changing
into dead cells. (Cell turnover)
What are the two zones of the epidermis? - (answers)Horny zone & Germinal
Zone
How many layers are in the horny zone - (answers)Three
What are the three layers of the Horny zone (epidermis) - (answers)Stratum
Corneum, Stratum Lucidum, & Stratum Granulosum
How many layers are in the Germinal Zone? - (answers)Two
,2
What are the layers of the Germinal Zone? - (answers)Stratum Spinosum &
Stratum Germinativum
stratum corneum - (answers)outermost layer of the epidermis, which consists of
flattened, keratinized cells that are bond by sebum
sebum - (answers)oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands
stratum lucidum - (answers)a layer of the epidermis found only in the thick skin of
the fingers, palms, and soles. Clear layer that allows light to pass through
Eleidin - (answers)a transparent, intermediate product of keratin maturation that
allows light to pass through. Found in the stratum lucidum.
stratum granulosum - (answers)a layer of the epidermis that marks the transition
between the deeper, metabolically active strata and the dead cells of the more
superficial strata. Persistent friction causes calluses on knees, elbows, & feet.
(Thickness Varies)
Stratum Spinosum (Prickly Layer) - (answers)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. Basal & spinosum together form the
germinativum.
, 3
What are Langerhans cells? - (answers)Located in the Stratum Spinosum,
langerhans cells determine the appropriate adaptive immune response
(inflammation or tolerance).
Langerhans cells - (answers)Fight infection in the skin due to phagocytosis (eating)
Macrophages - (answers)Found within the lymph nodes, they are phagocytes that
destroy bacteria, cancer cells, and other foreign matter in the lymphatic stream.
Histology - (answers)the study of the microscopic structure of tissues (skin)
List the layers of the epidermis from superficial to deep. - (answers)stratum
corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum
basale
List the layers of the epidermis from deep to superficial - (answers)stratum
basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum
corneum
Dermis - (answers)Considered to be true skin. Collagen & elastin is found here.
How many layers are in the dermis? - (answers)2, papillary and reticular
