Scalelike cells full of keratin that constantly flake off?
stratum corneum
What relationship does your skin have with household dust?
"Sloughed Cells"(shed cells) form a major component of house hold dust. stratum corneum layer
What is dead cell?
Dead cell means a cell that has expired. Normally cells "die" through the process apoptosis within a prescribed time. Red blood cells expire after 120 days. For each kind of cell the period varies. These dead cells will be replaced with new cells eventually.
Epidermis as a whole?
The epidermis is the outer layer of your skin. It helps contain your body, as well as providing protection from infection. It consists of several layers of which the outermost layer, the stratum corneum contains keratinized cells.
Are tumors alive?
Tumors consist of living cells but they are not considered their own organisms.
What epidermal cells contain keratohyaline and lamellar granules?
Stratum granulosum
Which epidermal cells contain kerathyaline and lamellated granules?
Stratum granulosum Once again, stratum granulosum is one of epidermal layers: not epidermal cells. My answer to this question is: Flattened cells of stratum granulosum that are going through keratinization process contain kerathyaline and lamellated granules.
What epidermal layers contain langerhans cells?
Stratum Spinosum @ Stratum Granulosum
Where are lamellar granules produced?
in the the stratum granulosum cells of the epidermis.
What epidermal cell compose about 8 percent epidermal cells?
stratum granulosum and stratum lucidum
Do skin cells start in the stratum spinosum?
Skin cells start in the stratum spinosum and move up the stratum granulosum, then to the stratum licidum, and stratum corneum. This is the epidermis inside out layers and growth process.
Why do the cells above the stratum granulosum die?
These cells no longer can get nutrients and are cut off from a blood supply.
What is the correct order for the layers of epidermis from outermost to deep?
Stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum,stratum lucidum & stratum corneum
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.
If a splinter penetrated the skin into the second epidermal layer of the sole of the foot which cells would be damaged?
Granulosum - Incorrect Lucidum is the correct answer
What mitotic cells are filled with an intermediate filaments?
Stratum Granulosum NO. The correct answer is Stratum Spinosum. Mitotic cells produced by the Stratum Basale move out to the Stratum Spinosum. You can find several layers of keratinocytes with thick bundles of intermediate filaments.
In what order a needle will pierce the epidermal layers of forearm?
Skin contains various layers from below upwards. But needle would pierce it in REVERSE order. So 1)A layer of flat cells about to be discarded is called Stratum corneum 2)A layer of almost transparent cells(Unstained cells.) called as Stratum Lucid-um.3)A layer of cells which looks granular.(Having granules in them.) is Stratum granulosum.4)A layer of cells called as Stratum Spinosum.5) A single cell layer of prominent nucleus in them called as Stratum basale.6)Then you have thick Dermis made of connective tissue.7) Then you have layer called as Hypo dermis made of of Adipose tissue (Fatty layer.)
