28
More on melanosomes They contain the enzyme tyrosinase which takes tyrosineDOPAdopaquinone What happens in dark skin vs. light skin? In dark skin melanosomes remain as single structures retained by keratinocytes In light skin—melanosomes aggregate and are degraded by hydrolytic enzymes from lysosomes in stratum spinosum

Merkel cells Found in stratum basale Maybe mechanoreceptors
Many dense core granules may contain neurotransmitters
32
Do you have thick skin? What is different about thick skin vs. thin skin?
33
Do you have thick skin? What is different about thick skin vs. thin skin? Thick skin lacks hair follicles and sebaceous glands Two layers of skin are bound to each other by epidermal ridges—rete pegs and dermal papillae
35
Dermis Describe the papillary layer? Describe the reticular layer?
36
Dermis Describe the papillary layer? Describe the reticular layer?
Just below epidermis and includes dermal papillae. Loose irregular ct and includes collagen, elastic fibers, GAGs, fibroblasts, etc Describe the reticular layer? Dense irregular ct (thicker than papillary layer) collagen, and other ct constituents
38
Blood vessels of the dermis
Found in 2-3 plexuses Subpapillary plexus—at the junction of the papillary and reticular layerscapillaries in papillary layer Cutaneous plexus—at junction of reticular layer and hypodermis Third plexus below hypodermis
39

Accessory Organs Hair– what is vellus hair vs. terminal hair
Vellus hairpeach fuzz Terminal hairthicker hair, formed from vellus hair What are follicles? Invagination of epidermal cells into the dermis Formation induced by protrusion of dermis, dermal papilla into the hair bulb
46
More hair crap What are the epidermal cells adjacent to the dermal papilla called? What are they?
47
More hair crap What are the epidermal cells adjacent to the dermal papilla called? Matrix cells What are they? Proliferative cells that correspond to the stratum basale They give rise to different layers of the hair shaft—medulla, cortex and cuticle
48
What layers of the epidermis can be seen where on the hair?
49
What layers of the epidermis can be seen where?
Upper 1/3—all layers of the epidermis are evident Middle 1/3—only lower two layers of epidermis Lower 1/3—limited only to basal layer—continuous with the hair bulb
50
I thought we needed a picture
Don’t worry, there will be plenty more later on
51
What happens to matrix keratinocytes?
When they proliferate they form hard keratin Matrix cells peripheral to the cells forming the hair shaft form the internal root sheath that surrounds the hair shaft within the follicle.
52
Hair crap just goes on and on…
What are epidermal cells that form the hair follicle called? And the dermis surrounding the hair follicle is called? What about the basement membrane?
53
Hair crap just goes on and on…
What are epidermal cells that form the hair follicle called? External root sheath And the dermis surrounding the hair follicle is called? Connective tissue root sheath What about the basement membrane? Glassy membrane… its really thick Between external root sheath and connective tissue sheath
54
ALMOST FINISHED WITH HAIR
What is the arrector pili muscle?
55
ALMOST FINISHED WITH HAIR
What is the arector pili muscle? Bundle of smooth muscle attached to connective tissue of the follicle and the basement membrane of epidermis Contraction in response to cold or fear makes the hair erect
56
Phases of hair growth And of course they couldn’t just call the phases of hair growth growing, receding, and resting because that would make sense. Instead, its anagen, catagen, and telogen At the end of anagen(growing) the catagen (receding) phase begins with follicle receding toward epidermal surface, dermal papilla lost During telogen—hair shaft is released Then the next anagen phase begins as new papilla formed and new hair shaft arises
57
See papilla so it must be anagen
58
Sebaceous glands Simple, branched acinar glands
Derived from outpouching of basal cells in upper 1/3 of hair follicle Glands secrete by HOLOCRINE mode of secretion Lack myoepithelial cells Become active during puberty Acne is caused by obstruction of these glands

Image review Get ready….
72
Layers of skin – what you need to know
Epidermis (basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum) Dermis (papillary layer, reticular layer) Basically just CT Hypodermis Contains a lot of adipose
73
Sweat glands Apocrine and eccrine Secretory portion Duct
Myoepithelial cells Eccrine have flat-topped epithelium and are found EVERYWHERE SIMPLE coiled tubular Apocrine have rounded/rough looking tops and are found in your pits and private areas BRANCHED coiled tubular
74
Hair follicles Associated with smooth muscle of arrector pili muscles
Also associated with sebaceous glands that DO NOT have myoepithelial cells
75
A little embryo action Keratinocytes (corneum, lucidum, etc. etc.), hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands from ECTODERM Epidermal stuff Fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, macrophages from MESODERM Dermal stuff
76
Thick skin – a ton of corneum; soles of feet and palms

Epidermal pegs/rete pegs (white) – epidermis that bulges into dermis; anchor epidermis to dermis; dermal papillae (blue) is the dermis that bulges into epidermis. Got it?
82
dermis Papillary layer on top Reticular layer on the bottom Looser CT
Contains blood vessels, nerve endings (esp. in dermal papilla) Reticular layer on the bottom Denser CT (dense irregular CT)
83
Thin skin – only a few corneum layers
Another clue = see hair and oil glands
84
Now time for its close up of thin skin; notice the brown melanin pigment
85
Hair follicle – must be thin skin
86
Cross section hair follicle and oil gland
87
Sebaceous glands – NOT in thick skin
88
So much shit Oil gland Sweat gland Thin skin Reticular layer of dermis

96
Thick skin showing epithelial detail
Thick skin showing epithelial detail. Cornified (keratinized) stratified squamous epithelium makes up the epidermis. The stratum granulosum is very dark; the stratum lucidum is bright red. The stratum corneum is thick, and very pale.
97
Detail of epithelium of thick skin from the superficial to deep:
pale stratum corneum bright red stratum lucidum purple stratum granulosum stratum spinosum
98
THIS WAS ON OUR EXAM Many desmosomes between cells (arrows). The cell membranes of the two cells are repeatedly interdigitated, giving the appearance of "intercellular bridges" in light microscopy. These bundles of keratin filaments are called TONOFIBRILS.
99
Detail of epithelium of thin skin, showing melanin in the basal layer
Detail of epithelium of thin skin, showing melanin in the basal layer. The pigment is produced by stellate shaped melanocytes of the dermal layer and then deposited in the basal cells of the epidermis. Melanocytes are of neural crest origin and have to be specifically stained in order to be seen.
100
Thick skin – check out the corneum

105
The secretory portions of several sweat glands lie in clusters among the fat cells of the hypodermis, low in the picture. A Pacinian corpuscle is in the same area. These are the eccrine sweat glands of skin – they secrete their watery fluid by merocrine secretion. pacinian Eccrine sweat
106
Notice that the last slide was thick skin
Notice that the last slide was thick skin. It DOES have sweat glands, just no hair follicles or oil glands. Think about it. Does anyone you know have hairy feet? I hope not. Also, makes sense why the lotion business is huge – no oil glands on hands!
107
Eccrine sweat glands and ducts
108
Detail of sweat gland. The darker circles in the lower part of the field are ducts; the lighter cross-cuts above are the secretory portions.
109

125
Hair follicles of scalp, with associated pale sebaceous glands
Hair follicles of scalp, with associated pale sebaceous glands. The follicles extend down into the hypodermis, which is largely adipose tissue. Notice the arrector pili (orange) muscle running diagonally toward the upper right-hand corner of the field.
126
At the base of a hair follicle sebaceous glands (red) are found
At the base of a hair follicle sebaceous glands (red) are found. These glands secrete oil into the follicle. They secrete via a process called "holocrine secretion" in which the cell fills with secretory material and then essentially distintegrates; the whole cell is shed
127
Detail of sebaceous gland
Detail of sebaceous gland. Cells look foamy because of loss of lipid droplets during tissue fixation. This gland exhibits holocrine secretion, in which whole cells swell up, degenerate, and are desquamated. The secretion is emptied into the hair follicles and eventually reaches the surface of the skin.
