The protein in epidermal cells that makes the skin relatively waterproof is?
Collagen
Which cells arise from bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis?
macrophages called epidermal dendritic cells
Keratinocytes are the most important of the epidermal cells because?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties.
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.
Where do epidermal cells get their nutrients?
Epidermal cells receive nutrients and oxygen from the blood vessels in the dermis.
The tough water-repellent protein found in the epidermal cells is called?
It is called Keratinocyte, which is in the outermost layer of the epidermis.
The tough protective protein found in the epidermal cells is called?
Keratin
What are the strands of protein called when epidermal cells are pushed toward the surface and develop in their cytoplasm?
keratin
A tough waterproofing protein is?
Keratin is a tough, waterproofing protein. Keratin is secreted by the cells of the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin).
What is responsible for waterproofing of skin?
The outer most layer of the skin is called epidermis.Many of the cells of epidermis produce protein called keratin. The new epidermal cells are formed at the base of the skin and hence the older cells are pushed to surface. The surface cells protect the inner new cells.Gradually the surface cells get filled with keratin. This process is called kertinization.During this process the epidermes gets dividd into five distinct regions.Top most layer is stratum corneum. It consists of more than 20 layers of dead cells. These cells get filled with keratin. These cells are said to be cornified. The cornified cells are surrounded by a hard protective envelope,which makes the skin waterproofing....more over there are other layers of epidermis which has its independent function.
What protein substance helps the epidermal cells of the skin to be waterproof?
Keratin
The protein in epidermal cells that makes the skin relatively waterproof is?
Collagen
Which epidermal cells are also called prickle cells?
The Stratum Spinosum are the cells that are also called the prickle cells. Stratum spinosum are not the cells: it's one of the epidermal layers. Keratinocytes are the cells which also called prickled cells.
Which cells arise from bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis?
macrophages called epidermal dendritic cells
What are hair shafts composed of?
Hair shafts are comprised of three distinct layers. These three layers are concentric, and they are called the cortex, cuticle, and medulla.dead epidermal cells
Keratinocytes are the most important of the epidermal cells because?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties.
Why is keratinocytesthe most important of the epidermal cells because why?
they produce a fibrous protein that gives the skin its protective properties
