the skin
Functions of the integumentary system
Vitamin D production, protection, excretion, temperature regulation, and sensation
The most common cell type in the epidermis
keratinocytes
produced by undifferentiated stem cells in the stratum basale
kertinocytes
produce proteins and lipids associated with waterproofing of the skin
kertinocytes
these cells have increase production rates of pigment in darker skinned individuals
melanocytes
produce a pigment that protects from UV light
Melanocytes
produce melanin
melanocytes

If a chemotherapy drug inhibits mitosis, cells from the _________ will be most directly affected.
stratum basale
contains cells that undergo mitosis to form new epidermal cells.
stratum basale
Contains 20-30 layers of dead cornified cells
stratum corneum
Single layer of cuboidal or columnar cells
stratum basale
Thin, clear zone consisting of several layers of dead cells
stratum lucidum
Contains three to five layers of flattened, diamond-shaped cells
stratum granlusosum
Eight to ten layers of many-sided cells
stratum spinosum
produces a layer of cells that resist abrasion
keratinization
epithelium, includes 4-5 strata, avascular, and keratinized stratified squamous
