Structure of the skin

Question 1

Outermost layer composed of stratified, squamous,
keratinized ( no nucleus) epithelial cells.

Answer 1

Epidermis

Question 2

it is the process in which new cells pushes old cells through the surface resulting to change in cell shape and eventually causing this cells to die

Answer 2

keratinization

Question 3

what are the five layers are of strata?

Answer 3

Stratum corneum
Stratum lucidum
Stratum granulosum
Stratum spinosum
Stratum basale/ germativum

Question 4

formed the outer most layer of the epidermis.
It consists of dead cells (libag) converted to protein

they are called keratinized cells because they have lost most of their fluid

Answer 4

Stratum corneum

Question 5

sole of the feet & palm
at least directly beneath the stratum corneum, but is difficult to see in thinner skin

It is only one or two cells layers thick. Cells are transparent and flat.

Answer 5

Stratum lucidum

Question 6

to dehydrate the cell
- consist of two or three layers of flatten cells
- this layer is very active in keratinization.
- in this layer the cell lose their nuclei and become compact and brittle

Answer 6

Stratum granulosum

Question 7

spikey appearance

• consist of several layers of prickly or spiny shape cells that are polyhedral in structure.

In this layer, desmosomes are still quite prevalent

Answer 7

Stratum spinosum

Question 8

Deepest layer

• the deepest and most important layer of the skin because it contains the only cells of the epidermis that are capable of dividing by mitosis

Answer 8

Stratum basale or Stratum germinativum

Question 9

The stratum germinativum also contains cells called melanocytes which are responsible for producing skin color (melanin producers)

Answer 9

stratum germinativum

Question 10

know as the true skin and corium

Answer 10

Dermis

Question 11

it is the area adjacent to the epidermis

Answer 11

papillary portion

Question 12

it is found between the papillary portion and the fatty subcutaneous tissue beneath

Answer 12

Reticular portion

Question 13

what component of the hypodermis makes it a good insulator and shock absorber

Answer 13

Fat cells

Question 14

It is composed of dense connective tissue with tough white collagenous fibers and yellow elastin fibers.

Answer 14

Dermis

Question 15

melanin producers

Answer 15

melanocytes

Question 16

you can see blood vessel and glands in dermis

Question 17

ito yung sa ilalim ng dermis na nakikita ang fat cells

Answer 17

hypodermis
