SKIN
-
integument
- largest organ, 15% weight
- protective and waterproof layer
- regulated body Temp
- sensoryy nerves w spialized cendritic terminals
--> temp, pain, pressure, touch
- Meisner's corpuscles (figer-like protrusions)
-->a nerve ending & sense outerside environment
2 layers
Epidermis
- outer
large majority of keratinocytes (from ectoderm)
- Avascular
-
-
-
Dermis
- under
- Dense irregular CT (mesoderm)
-
-
-
Hypodermis
- Deep: a mixture of loose CT & adipose tissue
(it connects the skin to underlying tissues)
Epdermins
Stratified Squamous, Keratinized Epithelium
-
strata (layers)
Stratum Basale
undifferentiated, stem cells
-
-
-
-
contain
melanocytes
-
-
- migrate into the epidermis
- reside in the stratum basale
-
Merkel cells
-
-
- migrate into the epidermis
- reside in the stratum basale
when basal keratinocytes detach from the basement membrane and move up into the next stratum they begin to differentiate
Stratum Spinosum
-
-
-
Langerhans cells
-
-
-
- migrate into the epidermis
- 1st reside in the stratum spinosum
-
melanocyte
melanosome
membrane-bound vesicles, contain UV-light absorbing melanin
