Which of the following cells are actively dividing?
Respuesta
  • Basale
  • Melanocytes

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
What happens to melanocytes to cause sunburn?
Respuesta
  • High UV causes melanosome overproduction
  • High UV causes melanocyte apoptosis

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
How do melanosomes work?
Respuesta
  • When exposed to UV, they form a 'cap' over the nucleus
  • When exposed to UV, the burst, spreading melanin throughout the cell
  • When exposed to UV, they destroy UV damaged proteins

Respuesta
  • Red phaemelanin
  • Black eumelanin
  • Brown pheumelanin
  • Pink leumelanin

Respuesta
  • 8-10
  • 4-6
  • 6-8

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
How are cells in the stratum spinosum held together?
Respuesta
  • Desmosomes
  • Collagen
  • Myosin fibres

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
What is different about stratum spinosum cells compared to stratum spinosum cells?
Respuesta
  • The cytosol has shrunk somewhat
  • The keratin is coarser
  • The nucleus has begun to disintegrate
  • The cytosol has swelled

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
What is the role of langerhans cells?
Respuesta
  • Antigen presenting cells
  • Phagocytic cells

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
Where are Langerhans cells found in the epidermis?
Respuesta
  • Stratum spinosum
  • Stratum basalum
  • Stratum granulosum

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
Where is the 'lipid glue' that holds the stratum corneum produced?
Respuesta
  • Stratum spinosum
  • Stratum granulosum

Pregunta 18

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • 3-5
  • 12-15
  • 23-24

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
Why does the nucleus begin to disintegrate in the stratum granulosum?
Respuesta
  • They're undergoing apoptosis
  • The cells are too far from the nutrient source to sustain it

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
What protein organises the laying down of keratin fibres?
Respuesta
  • Keratohyalin
  • Keratosynthase
  • Keratoconstructase

Pregunta 21

Respuesta
  • 20-35 layer
  • 35-40
  • 40-45

Pregunta 25

Pregunta
What distinguishes stratum corneum cells?
Respuesta
