41
Where is Epidermis derived from? | Where is the DERMIS derived from?
Epidermis-ECTODERM Dermis- MESENCHYME from: 1. Lateral plate mesoderm (limbs/body wall) 2. Paraxial mesoderm (back) 3. Neural crest (face and neck)
42
What induces ectoderm to form the epidermis?
BMP4 and FGF
43
What allows ectoderm to form the neural plate? | Describe the BMP4 concentration gradient and why its important
Noggin, Chordin, Follistatin are expressed by the notochord and inhibits BMP4. Low BMP4 induces neural plate Intermediate BMP4 induces neural crest High BMP4 induces epidermis The concentration of BMP4 is low in the middle and increases laterally to the outside so that each layer develops correctly.
44

Sclerotome-SSH & Noggin >>>>[PAX1] Dermatome- NT-3 >>>>> [PAX3] Myotome- WNT >>>>> [MyoD/Myf5]
45
SSH,PAX,WNT,NT
SSH-Sonic hedgehog - sclerotome>PAX1 PAX- Paired box genes- dermis WNT- Wingless-type genes- myotome>MYF5/MyoD NT-neurotrophin genes- dermatome>PAX3
46
Lines of Blaschko
1901 derm disorders saw the segmentation lines
47
What holds all the cells of the epidermis together?
desmosomes and hemidesmosomes. They change and are lost by change in pH.
48
Why don't melanocytes have desmosomes?
They migrate- keep moving through cells- at basale level
49
melanosomes -
Kinesin transport melanin granules "melanosomes" along cytoplasmic processes of melanocyte until it makes contact with a keratinocyte. Keratinocyte phagocytose melanocyte processes in order to take up the melanin granules. the granules then transported away from keratinocyte interior by dynein.
50
Cells in the stratum basale Cells in the stratum spinosum cells in the stratum granulosum
Basal- keratinocytes, melanocytes spinosum- merkel cells, langerhans granulosum-
51
If you have a problem with ACH release or cholinergic response: if you have problem with NE or adrenergic response?
produce too much sweat or not enough sweat Produce too much sweat or not enough
52
If you have someone who stinks really bad when they sweat what gland can you associate it with?
Apocrine- high protein stored in lumen- bacteria -large protein in lumen- PUBES - NE- Develop during PUBERTY * Eccrine doesn't smell b/c it has antibacterial glycoprotein granules - small antibacterial lumen-ACH-3celltypes-merocrine-coiled tubular
53
3 cells of eccrine sweat glands
Clear- make sweat->intercellular canaliculi>small lumen (increased mitochondria/glycogen) Dark- make antibac glycoprotein granules close to lumen (increased RER/golgi) Myoepithelial- contract for secretion
54
What embryological structure inhibits BMP4? what does it release? why important? what is the gradient?
Notochord releases noggin, chordin, follistatin inhibiting BMP4 close toward center -established gradient has low center BMP4 and increasing BMP4 away from center Important because bmp4 induces development of structures based on concentration. Low BMP4- neural plate Med- Neural crest High- Epidermis
55
what layer of epidermis would you see nodes of blizzazaro?
stratum spinosum
56
Where do you find bipolar neurons? 3 places
Nasal cavity Inner ear Retina
57
3 types of cancer of skin, frequency, seriousness
Basal Cell- most common Squamous cell- 2nd most common Malignant melanoma- not as common- Most serious
58
PSORIASIS
Normal travel time 50-60 days | rapid proliferation is about 7 days in psoriasis
59
Where vitD production? | Where mitotically active?
vitD- basale-spinosum | mitosis-basale
60
Stratum granulosum
1-3 cell layers thick Have nuclei Squamous Keratinophyalin granules give it the grainy look
61
Intermediate filament associated proteins- where are they? how do they work? what do they do? How do you identify them on TEM?
Filaggrin proteins inside Keratohyaline granules- Cause keratin tonofilaments to aggregate into tonofibrils look like black tadpoles starting to form black fiber tails
62
What creates the water barrier of the epidermis?
Lamellar bodies next to plasma membranes secrete (exocytosis) into space between Granulosum and corneum to create a barrier granulosum cells secrete the lamellar bodies and the membrane is setup just deep to the corneum layer pro-barrier lipids-lipid enzymes and proteases
