exam 3 (15 cards)
they are keratinocytes–> look at the melanin cap
it is not found in the stratum spinosum but in the stratum basale
mealnocytes quanitity does not differ between races, what changes is the activity
the arrow point to the stratum granulosum which produces lamellar granules
the arrow is pointing to a eccrine sweat gland duct
the asterisk is the dermis specifically the dermal papilla
myoepithelial cells
b- they might contain a few gap junction but they are not abundant in them. What makes them “spiny” is the macula adherens–> desmosomes
c- they are not associated with actin filaments
d- it is the merocrine (eccrine) sweat glands that are important for thermoregulation
it is located on C–> look at the dark eosinophilic stain
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator
there is no apocrine sweat glands
myoepithelial cells are not found in the epidermis
Tyrosinase is found in the melanosome of the malonocyte
What has been labeled as a pacininan corpuscle it is a Meissner corscuple
this is the dermis thus we will not be able to see the sweat gland secretory units
