What process replaces dead and damaged cells?
Meiosis
Where are melanin and keratin manufactured?
Melanin is formed by the melanocytes which are in the stratum basale of the epidermis. Keratin is formed by the epithelial cells of the skin in the epidermis.
Is red blood cells found in the epidermis?
No, red blood cells are not found in the epidermis. Red blood cells are primarily found in the circulatory system, specifically within blood vessels. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and primarily consists of epithelial cells.
What type of cells make up your skin?
Most of the skin is composed of the dermis which is made up mostly of dense irregular connect tissue. The cells about it are dead cells called the epidermis.
Are sweat glands made of modified epithelial tissue?
Yes, sweat glands are made of modified epithelial tissue. They are formed by invaginations of the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and consist of coiled tubular structures. These tubular structures are lined with specialized sweat gland epithelial cells that secrete sweat.
What process replaces dead and damaged cells?
Meiosis
Which of the following would be produced by meiosis red blood cell cells of the stem in plants sperm cell or epithelial cell?
Meiosis would produce sperm cells and epithelial cells in plants. Red blood cells do not undergo meiosis, as they lack a nucleus and are not capable of dividing.
Where are melanin and keratin manufactured?
Melanin is formed by the melanocytes which are in the stratum basale of the epidermis. Keratin is formed by the epithelial cells of the skin in the epidermis.
What are the characteristics of the epidermis?
The characteristics of the epidermis help it in playing its role. It has a thick protective layer and it also has tight junctions within the epithelial cells.
The epidermis is filled with?
Mainly dead epithelial cells consisting almost entirely of the protein Keratin.
Is red blood cells found in the epidermis?
No, red blood cells are not found in the epidermis. Red blood cells are primarily found in the circulatory system, specifically within blood vessels. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and primarily consists of epithelial cells.
What encloses the cortex of a root?
The cortex (of hair root) is the middle layer of the epithelial cells- dermis and epidermis.
What part of the skin is made up of epithelial tissue that contains dead cells?
Epidermis
Why are hair nails and cutaneous glands considered to be epithelial tissue?
because they grow from epithelial cells, are derivatives of epidermis, reside in dermis and are all over the body.
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
Where does keratinization occur?
the addition of keratin to the stratified squamous epithelial cells in the epidermis. Begins in the stratum spinosum and continues into the stratum granulosum.
What tissue forms the epidermis?
The cells of epidermis layer divide and grow, the older cells of this layer are pushed away from the dermis toward the skin surface. Basically, the epidermis cells come from the dermis by being pushed to the skin's surface. The cells of epidermis layer divide and grow, the older cells of this layer are pushed away from the dermis toward the skin surface. Basically, the epidermis cells come from the dermis by being pushed to the skin's surface.
