a layer of ectodermal cells
what are the two layers of the ectodermal cells that the baby is covered in originally

what does the vernix caseosa consist of
sebum from sebaceous glands and the dead cells from the periderm(corneum strata)
what protects the developing skin from constant exposure to amniotic fluid that has a high urine content
vernix
replacement of the peridermal cells continues till when? ( remember this is when the periderm becomes the stratum corneum)
week 21
what are epidermal ridges
they are proliferation of the stratum basal layer
what produces grooves on the surface of the palms and soles “fingerpirnts”
epidermal ridges
