Dermatology Revision 1 01 1 DERMATOLOGY REVISION 1 ----- Active space ----- Basics in Dermatology 00:00:22 Layers of Skin : Epidermis : S. corneum Flat cells, keratinised, no nucleus. S. lucidum Only in palms & soles. Stratum 1. Keratohyaline granules (profilaggrin +nt). granulosum Profilaggrin gets converted to Filaggrin Filaggrin involved in in Atopic dermatitis & Ichthiosis vulgaris 2. Lamellar granules/ Odland bodies (acts as barrier) S. spinosum Desmosomes (with prominent spines) present. Antibodies to desomosomes seen in Pemphigus disorders S. basale Single layer columnar cells + central nucleus Cells of epidermis : 1. Keratinocytes : Hallmark - Keratin intermediate filaments. 2. Non keratinocytes : 3 main cells : Characterstic Langerhan cells Melanocytes Merkel Cells Location S. spinosum S. basale S. basale Embryology Derived from Bone marrow Neural crest Ectoderm Content Birbeck granules.
