Do Squamous cell carcinoma involve dermal cells?
No, they involve superficial epidermal cells
Which type of dermal cell has more chloroplasts than any other dermal cells because it has greater energy needs?
Lower epidermal cells
What cells are epidermal cells?
They are skin and plant cells nd i love yhouu
What tissue associated with the skin and underlying tissues contains many cells that fight infection What are these cells called what process do they use to rid the body of organisms?
Our skin has two layers: (1) Epidermal layer and (2) Dermal layer.Micro-organisms that penetrate through the epidermal layer is trapped in dermal layer which has WBC's, mast cells that fight antigen.Dermal layer has two parts, papillary layer and dermis. Other processes in the dermis then gets rid of any waste collected in the papillary of epidermal layer.
How do snakes adapt to the land?
The epidermal skin cells in the gastroventricular layer of their epiglottis is financially suited and abdicate the velocities of the dermal xylem. This enables them to live on land.
The more superficial cells of the epidermis become less viable and die what factors account for this natural demise?
We skin cells are made, they are made in the deep layers of the skin, the dermal layer. This layer of the skin has blood supply, and cells that are in the dermal layer stay alive just fine. However, as cells in the upper layer, the epidermis, die; the skin cells in the dermal layer gets, pushed up into the epidermal layer. In this layer of the skin, there is no blood supply. However, nutrients are still passed from the blood rich dermal cells to the epidermal cells. The problem occurs when the epidermal cell is pushed right to the top of the epidermal layer, where there is no blood supply and it is too far away from the dermal layer to get nutrients vie osmosis. The cells in the upper epidermis get no nutrients and therefore die. Epidermal cells also die, ironically, because of the substances that they produce, keratin. Keratin is secreted by all skin cells to make the skin tough, durable and waterproof. However the build up of this keratin in the cell, leaks out in the extracellular space (the area outside the cell) and starts to breakdown the membranes of the cells around them and the cells essentially end up killing each other.Epidermal cells die because of the loss of nutrient supply as they get closer and closer to the surface of the skin, and the buildup of keratin inside them that leaks out into the area outside the cells.Read more: Why_do_epidermal_cells_die
How is damaged skin repaired?
Actually it is not that difficult for the skin to repair itself when only the epidermis is damaged. It's when the dermis is injured that the process becomes more complicated. It is difficult to only injure the epidermis, but it happens. The epidermis is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels and therefore does not bleed. Epidermal wounds usually involve only minor damage to the superficial epidermal cells although the center of the wound could extend slightly into the dermis. These types of wounds include minor skin abrasions, where a portion of the skin has been scraped away, and minor burns. In response to an epidermal injury, basal cells from the deepest layer of the epidermis --the stratum basale-- surrounding the wound break off from the basement membrane (epidermal-dermal junction). The cells then enlarge and migrate across the wound. The cells continue to migrate until they meet cells migrating from the opposite side of the wound. Migration of the cells stops when each cell is finally in contact with other epidermal cells on all sides. As the basal epidermal cells migrate, a hormone called epidermal growth factor stimulates basal cells to divide and replace those who have left to fill in the wound. The relocated basal epidermis cells divide to build new strata, thus thickening the new epidermis. Viola, the skin is repaired!

What is the process called when new cells are continuously made in deepest epidermal layer and push older cells up?
Well when the matrix cells above the dermal papilla in the hair follicle become hair cells it is called "differentiation." They then become keratinized and are pushed up. Hope this helps.
What is the function of epidermal cells in sponges?
The epidermal cells of sponges are responsible for cell adhesion and maintenance of their shape and structure. The epidermis is composed of pinacocytes (epidermal cells) which are flattened cells in the sponge's body wall.
What are epidermal dendritic cells?
Langerhans cells
What abnormality does histiocytosis X involve?
Epidermal (skin) Langerhans cells (a form of dendritic cell) accumulate with other immune cells in various parts of the body and cause damage by the release of chemicals.

Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels in the
