- | ==Skin==
| + | PFgvi4 Enjoyed every bit of your post. Great. |
- | *The skin is the heaviest, largest organ of the boyd.
| + | |
- | *Skin is involved in protection, temperature regulation, hydration, excretion, and production of hormones, cytokines, and growth hormones.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Describe the basic histological structure of the skin===
| + | |
- | *There are 2 + 1 layers to the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis.
| + | |
- | **The '''epidermis originates from the ectoderm''' and is composed of epithelial cells.
| + | |
- | **The '''dermis originates from the mesoderm'''.
| + | |
- | **The hypodermis is not considered part of the skin proper and '''contains adipose tissue'''.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Identify the cell layers that constitute the epidermis===
| + | |
- | *The '''epidermis''' contains 4 layers in most locations and 5 layers on the hands and feet.
| + | |
- | **The epidermis of the hands and feet is called '''thick skin''' and is '''hairless''' and contains a '''fifth layer'''.
| + | |
- | **Also, the granulosa and corenum layers are thicker in "thick skin".
| + | |
- | *From deep to superficial, the 5 layers of thick skin are: basale, spinosum, granulosum, ''lucidum'', and corneum (BSGLC).
| + | |
- | *The epidermis is not vascularized so the cells must rely on diffusion of nutrients from deep to superficial.
| + | |
- | **Therefore, it makes sense that deeper cells are more alive and the shallower cells are more dead-like.
| + | |
- | **Cellular progression from deep to superficial is also why it makes sense to talk about the layers from deep to superficial.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Stratum basale====
| + | |
- | *The stratum basale is also called the stratum '''germinativum'''.
| + | |
- | *This base layer of epidermis is made of a single layer of '''mitotically active''' columnar or cuboidal cells.
| + | |
- | **Recall that many adult stem cells live on basement membranes.
| + | |
- | *The cells of the basal layer are connected to the basement membrane via '''hemidesmosomes'''.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Stratum spinosa====
| + | |
- | *The '''spinosa''' appears as though there are a series of "spears" aligned within.
| + | |
- | *This spinous look results from several layers of of cells connected by desmosomes.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Stratum granulosmum====
| + | |
- | *The stratum '''granulosum''' contains cells with '''granules''' which usually implies they have some specific role--and they do.
| + | |
- | *The granule-containing cells of the granulosum contain '''filaggrin, and intermediat filaments''' that help to form the '''tonofibrils''' along with '''keratin'''.
| + | |
- | **Note that these granules are called '''keratohyline granules'''.
| + | |
- | **Kertohyline granules have no membrane.
| + | |
- | *The cells of the granulosum are flattened polygonal cells--found in 3 to 5 layers.
| + | |
- | **Epidermal cells of the granulosum are generally '''basophilic'''.
| + | |
- | **Note that '''the granulosum is thickened in thick skin'''.
| + | |
- | *There is a second type of granule (called '''lamellar granules''') that contain lipids that are excreted into the connective tissue to provide a barrier to water-loss.
| + | |
- | **Just like "lamellae" in chloroblasts, lamellar granules have a sort of stacked-bags look
| + | |
- | **Labellar graunules cannot be seen in light microscopy.

- | | + | |
- | ====Stratum lucidum====
| + | |
- | *The stratum lucidum is '''only present in thick skin'''.
| + | |
- | *The stratum lucidum contains only a few layers of very flattened eosinophilic epidermal cells.
| + | |
- | **The lucidum (ironically) stains darkly.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | http://ouhsc.edu/histology/Glass%20slides/43_09.jpg
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Stratum corneum====
| + | |
- | *The stratum corneum contains 15-20 layers of very thin, highly keratinized cells.
| + | |
- | **These cells are called '''squames'''.
| + | |
- | *Note that corneum means ''horny''; think of a rhinocerus's horn--it is keratinized skin.
| + | |
- | | + | |

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Dermo-epidermal junction====
| + | |
- | *Recall that the stratum basal is the deepest layer of the epidermis and that the dermis is deep to the epidermis.
| + | |
- | **Recall, too, that the epidermal cells of the basal layer are connected to the basement membrane via hemidesmosomes.
| + | |
- | *Recall that the dermis contains lots of connective tissue.
| + | |
- | **The dermis contains lots of '''type 4 collagen'''.
| + | |
- | *The superficial aspect of the dermis that is attached to the basement membrane of the epidermis is the '''lamina densa'''.
| + | |
- | *The lamina densa of the dermis and the basement membrane of the epidermis are connected via '''anchoring filaments''' and '''anchoring fibrils'''.
| + | |
- | **Note that '''anchoring filaments are composed of type 7 collagen'''.
| + | |

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Describe the cellular components of the epidermis and their functions===
| + | |
- | *There are four major cells of the epidermis: keratinocytes, melanocytes, langerhan cells, and merkel cells.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_WdFQawAlzZM/TaRKusxrDOI/AAAAAAAAAu4/yid3LHxB7Pw/s800/epidermal_cells.jpg
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Keratinocytes====
| + | |
- | *Keratinocytes are the most numerous cell of the epidermis and primarily serve a structural role.
| + | |
- | **Keratinocytes produce the protein keratin.
| + | |
- | *Keratinocteys also help produce the '''water barrier''' with their tight junctions.
| + | |
- | *Keratinocytes are found in all layers of the epidermis and take many shapes depending on their location.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | http://www.nanogen.org/en/images/nano-skincell-life.gif
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Melanocytes====
| + | |
- | *Melanocytes reside in and near the '''stratum basale''' and have dendritic projections that weave through neighboring keratinocytes.
| + | |
- | *Melanocytes are '''derived from neural crest cells''' and function to generate the pigment melanin which protects cells from UV damage.
| + | |
- | *Melanocytes generate melanin and pass it to neighboring cells via '''cytocrine secretion''' upon MSH signaling.
| + | |
- | **Note that '''melanin is produced from tyrosine''' via tyrosinase in a specialized intracellular organelle called a '''melanosome'''.
| + | |
- | ***Melanosomes are said to "mature" as they are produced; they turn from a light, circular shape to a dense cucumber shape.
| + | |
- | ***'''Eumalanosomes''' (black) and '''phaeomelanosomes''' (red / brown) give color to bird and dinosaur feathers.
| + | |
- | **Albino organisms often lack tyrosinase and thus cannot generate melanin.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Langerhans cells====
| + | |
- | *Langerhans cells are derived from bone marrow and thus it makes sense that they serve an immunological role.
| + | |
- | **Langerhans cells bind, process, and present antigens to T cells with their star shaped cell bodies.
| + | |
- | *Langerhans cells reside primarily in the '''spinosum''' layer (think "spines and chinese are for killing bad guys!''').

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Merkel cells====
| + | |
- | *Merkel cells (like melanocytes) are found primarily in the basal layer, which makes sense because they are a sensation cell that needs to be near a nerve ending.
| + | |
- | **Note that '''Merkel cells are found primarily in thick skin''' where touch needs to be highly sensitive.
| + | |
- | *Merkel cells, along with the '''expanded terminal bulb''' of afferent, myelinated nerves, form the '''Merkel's corpuscle''' which detects touch as a '''mechanoreceptor'''.
| + | |
- | *The Merkel cells contain dense-cored '''neurotransmitter granules'''.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | http://neuromedia.neurobio.ucla.edu/campbell/skin/wp_images/cell%20types.jpg
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ===Describe the structural organization of the dermis===
| + | |
- | *Recall that the dermis is a connective tissue layer (collagen 4) that connects the epidermis to the hypodermis.
| + | |
- | *The dermis has two layers (superficial to deep): papillary layers and reticular layer.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Papillary layer of the dermis====
| + | |
- | *The papillary layer is a delicate layer of connective tissue called ''papillary'' because of the papilla it forms as it protrudes up into the epidermis.
| + | |
- | **Connective tissue of the papillary layer is composed of '''type 1 collagen''', '''type 2 collagen''', and '''elastic fibers.
| + | |
- | **Recall that '''type 7 collagen binds the dermis to the basal lamina''' (the basement membrane) that separates the epidermis and dermis.
| + | |
- | **It is the papilla between the epidermis and papillary layer of the dermis that generate '''fingerprints (dermatoglyphics)'''.
| + | |
- | ***When you think of fingerprints think of '''Mark Twain and Juan Vucetich'''.
| + | |
- | *The papillary layer '''contains nerves and vessels''' but they '''do not penetrate''' the epidermis.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Reticular layer of the dermis====
| + | |
- | *The reticular layer of the dermis is a sturdier connective tissue than the papillary layer and is '''less cellular'''.
| + | |
- | *The reticular layer is composed of '''type 1 collagen''' and '''regularly oriented elastic fibers (called Langer's lines)'''.
| + | |
- | *The reticular layer is always thicker than the papillary layer; though the thickness of the reticular layer can vary depending on the location.
| + | |

- | ===Identify other structures in the skin===
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Vessels====
| + | |
- | *The vascular layout of the skin serves two functions: to provide nutrient and waste exchange and to regulate body temperature.
| + | |
- | *There are '''two plexuses of arteries''': between the two layers of the dermis (papillary and reticular) and between the dermis and hypodermis.
| + | |
- | *There are '''three plexuses of veins''': between the two layers of the dermis (papillary and reticular) and between the dermis and hypodermis (just like the arteries) and a '''third plexus in the middle of the dermis'''.
| + | |
- | **Recall that the reticular layer is thicker than the papillary layer so even though there is a vascular plexus between the two, there is also a veinous plexus deeper in the reticular layer.
| + | |
- | *'''Arteriovenous anastomoeses''' serve as the shunts that can be opened or closed for temperature reasons--cooling or conserving, respectively.

- | | + | |
- | ====Sensory receptors====
| + | |
- | *There are four types of sensory receptors in the integumentary system (skin): free nerve endings, pacinian corpuscles, meissner's corpuscles, and ruffini's corpuscles.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | =====Free nerve endings=====
| + | |
- | *Free nerve endings are found in the '''stratum granulosum''' and detect '''fine touch, heat, and cold'''.
| + | |
- | *Free nerve endings are not surrounded by connective tissue or schwann cells.

| + | |
- | *http://webanatomy.net/histology/neural/free_nerves.jpg
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | =====Pacinian corpuscles=====
| + | |
- | *Pacinian corpuscles are nerve endings surrounded by an oval encapsulation of connective tissue in the '''deeper dermis and hypodermis'''.
| + | |
- | *Pacinian corpuscles detect '''vibration'''.
| + | |
- | *Pacinian corpuscles are myelinated.
| + | |
- | *Think '''maraca shaped and all that vibration!'''

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | =====Meissner's corpuscles=====
| + | |
- | *Meissner's corpuscles are found in the papillary layer of the dermis and are sensitive to '''low frequency stimuli'''.
| + | |
- | **Doesn't "meissner" sound like an old miser with a low, grumpy voice?
| + | |
- | *Meissner's corpuscles are shaped like tapered '''m'''itochondria and are oriented perpendicular to the skin.

- | | + | |
- | ====Hair follicles====
| + | |
- | *The hair follicle is responsible for production of hair is a structure composed of epidermal and dermal structures and cell types.
| + | |
- | *Hair follicles originate from the invagination of epithelial cells downward to meet the papillary extension of dermal cells.
| + | |
- | *At the hair follicle a specialized layer called the '''glassy membrane''' (a type of basement membrane that is thickened and keratinized) separates the epidermis and the dermis.
| + | |
- | **Recall that a basement membrane separates the epidermis and dermis elsewhere, also, but that it is not keratinized.
| + | |
- | **Note that the glassy membrane is acellular, like all basement membrane.
| + | |
- | *During hair growth, the follicle has a bulbous end at the deepest part.
| + | |
- | **Vasculature that arises from the dermal layer up through the dermal papilla services the bulb of the hair follicle.
| + | |
- | **Surrounding the bulb (and originating from the epithelial layer) are melanoctyes which generate the melanin that dictates hair color.
| + | |
- | So, why is pubic hair always dark, even if head hair is light? Do these melanocytes have more MSH receptors or some intracellular difference that generates a darker version of melanin?
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | *There are two sections to the root sheath: inner and outer.
| + | |
- | **The inner root sheath runs from the bulb to the approximately the sabaceous gland.
| + | |
- | **The outer root sheath runs from the sabaceous gland to the surface of the skin.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | *Hair has three layers (from outside in): cuticle, cortex, and medulla.
| + | |
- | **The '''cuticle''' is the outer most and is comprised of '''squamous cells'''.
| + | |
- | **The '''cortex''' contains '''cuboidal cells''' that differentiate into '''keratinized cells'''.
| + | |
- | **The '''medulla''' contains large cells with '''vacuoles''' that are '''moderately keratinized'''.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | *Sebaceous glands are often associated with hair follicles and produce '''sebum''' as their secretion.
| + | |
- | **Sebum is released into the '''infundibulum''' which is a '''pilosebaceous canal''' that surrounds the base of the growing hair.

- | | + | |
- | =====Phases of hair growth=====
| + | |
- | *There are three phases of hair growth: anagen, catagen, and telogen.
| + | |
- | **Anagen is active growth.
| + | |
- | **Catagen is apoptosis-driven involution
| + | |
- | **Telogen is the "resting phase" in which there is no more apoptosis but a new hair has yet to begin growing.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Nails====
| + | |
- | *The nail (the nail plate) is a structure of '''specialized stratum corneum''' that has hard keratin that '''does not desquamate''' like the skin corneum layer.
| + | |
- | *The nail plate sit in the '''nail bed''' which is formed by the stratum basale and spinosum.
| + | |
- | **Recall that the layers of the skin are '''normally BSGLC''' and here we have corneum sitting on spinosum and basal--the granulosum is missing.
| + | |
- | *The nail bed is surrounded by the '''nail matrix''' which has a variety of cells: '''dividing cells that will cornify''' to become nail plate, '''melanocytes''', '''merkel cells''', '''langerhans cells''', and '''stem cells'''.
| + | |
- | **It makes sense that there are '''sensory cells in the nail matrix''' because sometimes you hit your nail plate just right and it hurts so bad!
| + | |
- | *The '''nail root''' is the '''proximal end of the nail plate''' to which cornified cells are added to generate nail growth.
| + | |
- | *The '''hyponichium''' is the point where the nail plate becomes free from the epidermis / nail bed.
| + | |
- | *The '''epinichium''' is the part of the epidermis that covers the proximal end of the nail plate.

- | ====Glands====
| + | |
- | *There are two types of glands in the integument: sebaceous glands and sweat glands.
| + | |
- | **Sebaceous glands use an holocrine method of secretion; that is, they produce more and more of their secretion and then rupture their cell membrane and spill the contents of the lumen.
| + | |
- | **Sweat glands come in two forms: merocrine (eccrine) and apocrine.
| + | |
- | ***Merocrine (eccrine) secretion is the dumping of vesiclular content.
| + | |
- | ***Apocrine is the release of part of the cell by division of the cell membrane.

- | *Sebaceous glands use holocrine secretion: the release of the contents of the lumen.
| + | |

- | ===Understand the mechanism of skin repair===
| + | |
- | *Repair of a wound to the epidermis / dermis requires proliferation at both layers and the contribution of clotting.
| + | |
- | *Increased vascular flow at the site of wound contributes to formation of a clot known as a scab, made of fibrin, which generates an initial scaffold for epidermal and dermal cells to follow in remodeling the area.
| + | |
- | *The dermis is responsible for cleaning up the damaged cartilage (via macrophages) and proliferating new fibroblasts to generate new connective tissue.
| + | |
- | *The epidermis contributes basal cells (recall that they are mitotically active) near the wound to migration and proliferation at the wound to generate new epithelial layers.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | | + | |
- | *When the whole epidermis and dermis are damaged, cells from the base of the hair follicles and sabaceous glands can migrate and proliferate to regenerate the dermis and epidermis.
| + | |
- | **Indeed, we can even '''generate iPSCs''' from these adult stem cells.

- | ===Describe the histological findings in common skin diseases===
| + | |
- | *We will look at the histology of three classes of integument ills: blistering, psoriasis, and skin cancer.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Blistering====
| + | |
- | *Blistering occurs because of intercellular connection loss or because of a loss of connection at the epidermis-dermis junction.
| + | |
- | *Abnormalities at the '''epidermis-dermis junction''' are called '''bullous pemphigoid'''.
| + | |
- | **http://www.dermpedia.org/files/images/Bullous_pemphigoid_3.jpg
| + | |
- | *Abnormalities of intercellular junctions are called '''pemphigus'''.
| + | |
- | **http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/derm/mml/24820016.jpg
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | ====Psoraisis====
| + | |
- | *Psoriasis occurs when cells of the basal and spinosum layers demonstrate '''excessive proliferation''' and decreased cycle time which leads to '''increased thickness'''.
| + | |
- | *One can identify psoriasis by the presence of '''nuclei in the stratum corneum'''; this finding is called '''parakeratosis'''.
| + | |
- | **Recall that cells of the stratum corneum do not usually have nuclei.
| + | |
- | **Recall that we called the tongue epithelium '''perakeratinized''' because it had significant keratinization, differential staining, and yet the nuclei remained present.

- | ====Skin cancer====
| + | |
- | *There are three major types of skin cancer, named for the origin of the tumor cells: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma.
| + | |

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | =====Basal cell carcinoma=====
| + | |
- | *Note the excessive proliferation of the basal cells often drives them downward into the dermis.

- | | + | |
- | =====Malignant melanoma=====
| + | |
- | *Note the excessive number of melanocytes.
| + | |
- | *'''Mohs surgery''' first removes the visible melanoma and then uses microscopic examination of the tumor site and a precise map and excision technique to remove the '''roots of the cancer'''.

- | ====Griscelli syndrome====
| + | |
- | *Griscelli syndrome is also called "silver baby syndrome".
| + | |
- | *Griscelli syndrome can result from a defective Rab27a protein which is part of the transport complex that moves '''melanosomes''' along '''microtubules''' for cyotocrine passage to other cells.
| + | |
- | *Patients with silver baby syndrome have '''hypopigmentation''' and also '''immunodeficiency'''.
