3 - Responses Of The Skin To Injury Flashcards
(82 cards)
Skin patterns imply
The Pathogenesis and cause
Hyperkeratosis
Increased thickness of the stratum corneum
Hyperkeratosis can be due to
Non specific reaction to chronic stimuli
Is there a nucleus with othokeratotic
Lacks nuclei
Examples of causes of orthokeratotic
Seborrhea, icthyosis, vitamin A deficiency
What could cause parakeratosis
Zinc responsive dermatitis, superficial neuroleptic dermatitis
Epidermal hyperplasia
Increase thickness of the epidermis due to an increase number of cells
Epidermal hyperplasia occur where
Stratum spinosum - Acanthosis
Rete Pegs
Down growths of epidermis into the dermis
Where is rete peg normal
High friction - foot pads, gingiva
Where is another place you can find rete pegs
Chronic irritation
Epidermal dysplasia
Abnormal development of the epidermis
Disorganization of any of the layers of the epidermis
Epidermal dysplasia
Epidermal dysplasia is most often in what cells
Basal cells
Epidermal dysplasia is often what type of lesions
Pre neoplasticism
Epidermal atrophy
Decrease in number and size of the cells within the epidermis
Possible caues for epidermal atrophy
Hyperadrenocorticism, partial ischemia, severe malnutrition
What are some distinct Pathogenesis, but histologically identical
Dyskeratosis, apoptosis, necrosis
If dykeratosis/apoptosis/necrosis is confined to the basal layer
Discoid lupus/ muscocutaneous pyoderma
If dykeratosis/apoptosis/necrosis is multifola at all layers
Erythema multiforme
If dykeratosis/apoptosis/necrosis diffuse / full thickness
Toxic dermal necrolysis, thermal injury q
Edema
Fluid balance
Acantholysis
Loss of cell adhesion
Widening of intercellular spaces due to worsening edema lead to
Spongiosis
