Study Notes
Skin Layers and Functions
- The dermis, the layer beneath the epidermis, is responsible for sensory reception and temperature control.
Epidermis Layers
- The stratum lucidum, a layer of the epidermis, is absent in thin skin.
Cell Production
- The stratum basale, the innermost layer of the epidermis, is responsible for new-cell production.
Connective Tissue
- Elastic fibers provide flexible strength to tissues within the connective tissue.
Hypodermis
- The hypodermis, the layer beneath the dermis, helps to protect body heat.
Outermost Layer
- The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, consists of rough, flakelike dead cells.
Sweat and Sebum Production
- The dermis is responsible for making and distributing sweat and sebum.
Epidermis Layers (continued)
- The stratum lucidum, a layer of the epidermis, is absent in thin skin.
Blood Supply
- The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, is avascular, meaning it has no blood supply.
Epidermis Layers (continued)
- The stratum granulosum consists of 2-5 layers of flat dead cells filled with keratohyalin granules.
Epidermis Layers (continued)
- The stratum basale consists of a single layer of columnar cells and is responsible for new-cell production.
