keratinocytes | contain keratin |
keratin | tough protein that protects and waterproofs skin |
malanocytes | produce malanin |
melanin | pigment |
5 layers epidermis (stratum) | corneum lucidum granulosum spinosum basale |
stratum corneum | top layer of epidermis 25-30 layers of dead keratinocytes |
stratum lucidum | ONLY in thick skin areas 3-5 layers of flattened clear, dead keratinocytes |
stratum granulosum | middle layer water repellant sealant keratinocytes start to die here |
stratum spinosum | strength and flexibility |
stratum basale | bottom layer epidermis cells undergo mitosis |
disorders of epidermis | callus psoriasis moles dandruff warts |
callus | abnormal thickening of epidermis |
psoriasis | keratinocytes divide and move too quickly to stratum corneum |
dermis | connective tissue |
regions of dermis | papillary reticular |
papillary(1/3) | superficial dermal papillae ridges(grip) meissners corpuscles - tactile free nerve endings - temp, pain, itch |
reticular region(2/3) | deep layer subcutaneous hair follicles, nerves, oil, swet glands stretch marks(striae) |
structures in reticular region | hair follicles nerves oil glands sweat glands |
composition subcutaneous layer(hypodermis) | aeriolar connective tissue and adipose tissue has blood vessels pacinian coruscles(sense pressure) |
skin color | melanin - produced by melanocytes |
nevus | mole - benign overgrowth of melanocytes |

basal cell carcinoma | basale layer |
squamous cell carcinoma | upper epidermis |
malignant melanomas | occurs in melanocytes |
skin cancer risks | light skin sun family age immunosuppressed tanning beds |
warning signs of melanoma | Asymmetry Border Color Diamater Evolving |
