Embryology, structure and function of the skin
- Skin differentiates from ectoderm and mesoderm during the 4th week.
- Skin gives rise to:
- Teeth and hair follicles, derived from epidermis and dermis
- Fingernails and toenails, derived from epidermis only.
- Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, apocrine glands and mammary glands are âepidermal appendagesâ because they develop as ingrowths of epidermis into dermis.
- Functions of skin:
- Physical protection
- Protection against UV light
- Protection against microbiological invasion
- Prevention of fluid loss
- Regulation of body temperature
- Sensation
- Immunological surveillance.
The epidermis
- Composed of stratified squamous epithelium.
- Derived from ectoderm.
- Epidermal cells undergo keratinisationâtheir cytoplasm is replaced with keratin as the cell dies and becomes more superficial.
- Rete ridges are epidermal thickenings that extend downward between dermal papillae.
- Epidermis is composed of these five layers, from deep to superficial:
- Stratum germinativum
- Also known as the basal layer.
- Cells within this layer have cytoplasmic projections (hemidesmosomes), which firmly link them to the underlying basal lamina.
- The only actively proliferating layer of skin.
- Stratum germinativum also contains melanocytes.
- Stratum spinosum
- Also known as the prickle cell layer.
- Contains large keratinocytes, which synthesise cytokeratin.
- Cytokeratin accumulates in aggregates called tonofibrils.
- Bundles of tonofibrils converge into numerous desmosomes (prickles), forming strong intercellular contacts.
- Stratum granulosum
- Contains mature keratinocytes, with cytoplasmic granules of keratohyalin.
- The predominant site of protein synthesis.
- Combination of cytokeratin tonofibrils with keratohyalin produces keratin.
- Stratum lucidum
- A clear layer, only present in the thick glabrous skin of palms and feet.
- Stratum corneum
- Contains non-viable keratinised cells, having lost their nuclei and cytoplasm.
- Protects against trauma.
- Insulates against fluid loss.
- Protects against bacterial invasion and mechanical stress.
Cellular composition of the epidermis
- Keratinocytesâthe predominant cell type in the epidermis.
- Langerhans cellsâantigen-presenting cells (APCs) of the immune system.
- Merkel cellsâmechanoreceptors of neural crest origin.
- Melanocytesâneural crest derivatives:
- Usually located in the stratum germinativum.
- Produce melanin packaged in melanosomes, which is delivered along dendrites to surrounding keratinocytes.
- Melanosomes form a cap over the nucleus of keratinocytes, protecting DNA from UV light.
The dermis
- Accounts for 95% of the skin's thickness.
- Derived from mesoderm.
- Papillary dermis is superficial; contains more cells and finer collagen fibres.
- Reticular dermis is deeper; ...
