How big is a tympanic membrane?
The ear drum, also known as the tympanic membrane, is an oval shaped structure with an average size of 8 by 10 millimeters. It has three layers. The outer layer consists of a thin layer of skin, the middle layer is fibrous tissue and the inner layer is mucosa.
What is a description of cell membrane?
It encloses the cytoplasm, and is a protective barrier that controls what goes in and out of the cell.
What organ can the cell membrane best be compared?
The cell membrane can best be compared to the skin of an organism. Just like skin, the cell membrane acts as a protective barrier, regulates the exchange of substances in and out of the cell, and helps maintain homeostasis by selectively allowing certain molecules to enter or exit the cell.
What layer of skin is found under the epidermis?
The dermis is found underneath the epidermis. The two layers are connected by a basement membrane.
Is the outer layer of skin a cell?
The cell membrane
Skin cancer that causes epithelial cells to not be in contact with basement membrane?
Squamous cell carcinoma
What are the functions of the malpighian layer?
In mammalian skin, the innermost layer of the epidermis. The Malpighian layer is separated from the dermis by a fibrous basement membrane. The Malpighian layer is the site of active cell division. Some of the new cells thus formed leave the layer, become keratinized, and replace the outer cells of the epidermis which are continually worn away. The Malpighian layer also contains most of the melanin responsible for dark skin. It is named after the Italian anatomist Marcello Malpighi.
Common locations of the epidermis membrane?
All over your body. It is a layer of your skin.
How many layers comprise the tympanic membrane?
it is composed of three layers:an outer cuticular layer,intermediate fibrous layer,and inner mucous layer. the cuticular layer is continued with the skin of external acoustic meaus; the fibrous layer lies b/w cuticular and mucous layer; the mucous layer is continued with the mucous membrane of tympanic membrane.
