Frage 7

Frage
What happens to melanocytes to cause sunburn?
Antworten
  • High UV causes melanosome overproduction

Antworten
  • When exposed to UV, they form a 'cap' over the nucleus

Frage 13

Frage
How are cells in the stratum spinosum held together?
Antworten
  • Desmosomes
  • Collagen
  • Myosin fibres

Frage 14

  • 23-24

Frage 19

Frage
Why does the nucleus begin to disintegrate in the stratum granulosum?
Antworten
  • They're undergoing apoptosis
