Presentation Transcript

  1. Desmosomes • Give spiny appearance to the stratum spinosum • Attach neighboring keratinocytes

  2. Melanocytes • Found in the stratum basalis • Provide UV protection • Synthesize Melanin, which can be distributed to surrounding keratinocytes

  3. Question 1 In the stratum basalis, ______ are found. They attach keratinocytes to ______. • Hemidesmosomes, basal lamina • Desmosomes, basal lamina • Hemidesmosomes, other keratinocytes • Desmosomes, Langerhans cells Lab 8, slide 2

  4. Dermis: Papillary Layer • Dermal papillae project into epidermis • Meissner’s Corpuscles for 2 point discrimination • Hair follicle bulbs (not pictured)

  5. Hair Follicle • matrix of hair follicle is equivalent to the basal layer of epidermis • sebaceous glandssecrete sebum between shaft and follicle • arrector pili (smooth muscle bundle) cause Goosebumps

  6. Dermis: Reticular Layer Pacinian Corpuscle • found in deeper dermis and hypodermis • senses vibration, deep pressure

  7. Dermis: Reticular Layer eccrine sweat glands • Secretory tubules: acidophilic layer of myoepithelium contracts to expel secretion • Excretory ducts extend to epidermis with TWO layers of cuboidal cells • corkscrew path in epidermis

  8. Question 2

  9. Question 3 • The structure is a(n) _______; it is located in the _______layer, and its ducts terminate in the _______. • sebaceous gland, hypodermal, stratum granulosum. • eccrine sweat gland, dermal, stratum granulosum. • eccrine sweat gland, dermal, stratum corneum. • sebaceous gland, hypodermal, stratum corneum. Lab 8, slide 14

  10. Take Home Point: Some people have thicker skin than others! Good Luck and may your epidermis protect you!!!! Naked Cowboy—see him for yourself in Times Square!
