Epidermal Cells |
Contains Several types of cells. Keratinocytes, Melanocytes, Dendritic Cells |
|
|
Keratinocytes |
Cells that Produce Keratin. Secretes a Lipid substance that forms a Waterproof Barrier between epidermal cells. |
|
|
Melanocytes |
Produce Melanin or Pigment, which contributes to Skin color. It protects from the effects of UV radiation |
|
|
Dendritic Cells |
Branched Epidermal cells that trigger immunologic responses. Aided by T-cells |
|
|
Epidermal Layers |
Basale, Spinosum, Granulosum, Lucidum, Corneum |
|
|
Stratum Basale |
Base Layer. Deepest Epidermal Layer. Generates all other layers. |
|
|
Stratum Spinosum |
Spiny Layer. A Bonding and Transitional Layer Between the stratum Granulosum and the stratum Basale |
|
|
Stratum Granulosum |
Granular Layer. Contains Keratin Granules. Marking the Beginning of Skin Drying and Sloughing |
|
|
Stratum Lucidum |
Found Only In the Thick Skin of Palms and Soles. This is a Clear Layer Found Between the stratum Corneum and Granulosum. Lucidum is Absent in Thin Skin |
|
|
Stratum Corneum |
Horny Layer. Outermost Epidermal Layer. Cells are Keratinized and No Longer Living. |
|
|
Epidermal Growth |
Replacement of Epidermal Cells by Cell Division Occurs In the stratum Basale |
|
|
Epidermal-Dermal Junction |
Between the Epidermis and the Dermis |
|
|
Dermis |
Also called Corium, Hide, "True Skin" The Thicker Inner Region of skin. |
