Types of skin

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr.

Thin skin Thick skin

*4 layers *5 layers *less Prominent *Prominent stratum corneum * Less developed * Well developed stratum granulosum *Dominant and *Palms of the lines most of the and soles of the feet body surface * Thinner * Thicker dermis * No and * hair and sebaceous sebaceous glands glands The skin is composed of two layers: the outer and the deeper dermis, both of which rest on the

hypodermis

Stratum granulosum granules Kalbouneh

Stratum spinosum Dermal papilla Heba

Stratum basale Epidermal ridge Dr. Duct Stratum Stratum Stratum Stratum of eccrine granulosum basale spinosum corneum

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh ** Thick skin Prominent stratum granulosum No apocrine sweat glands, sebaceous glands or hair follicles thick stratum corneum

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh ** Thin skin Thin stratum corneum Not prominent stratum granulosum Can find → so there is a not seen in this section The papillae are not prominent The normal histologic appearance of the skin is shown here. At the top is the epidermis.A thin layer of overlies the epidermis. This layer of keratinization is thicker on the palms and soles and in areas where skin is rubbed or irritated. Beneath the epidermis is the dermis containing connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers.At the center can be seen a hair follicle with surrounding sebaceous glands.

Associated with the hair follicle is a small bundle of smooth muscle known as the Kalbouneh

arrector pili that can cause the hair to "stand on end" and dimple the skin to form Heba

"goose bumps". Dr.

 Skin section: keratin, epidermis The hair shaft isn’t seen because we lose it during section preparation

Sebaceous glands → small cells, light stained because the sebum isn’t stained with H&E A small nucleus in the center of the cell

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr. Melanocyte Under the light microscope: The outline of the cell is rounded → because its processes don’t appear in histological preparation → It undergoes shrinkage during histological preparation → it is not attached to neighboring keratinocytes

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh Freckles are clusters of concentrated melaninized cells

Freckles do not have an increased number of the melanin-producing cells, or melanocytes, but instead have melanocytes that overproduce melanosomes changing the coloration of

keratinocytes

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr.

→ larger and more active melanocytes

Is there anything abnormal in the epidermis? If so, what might it indicate.

Look for cells with pale cytoplasm in the epidermis. These cells are melanocytes and the large number of melanocytes in upper layers of epidermis is abnormal. In normal skin,

melanocytes are found only in the basal layer of the epidermis. The condition suggests the Kalbouneh

early stages in the development of melanoma.

Heba Dr.

 We do immunohistochemistry against melanocytes in order to getthe dingnosis Langerhans cells:  Originate from bone marrow (monocytes)  Mainly in the stratum spinosum

 Langerhans cells recognize, phagocytose, and process foreign antigens

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr. Langerhans cells

→ rounded cells, lightly stained cytoplasm, with processes

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh Melanocytes and Langerhans Cells Melanocytes localize to the stratum basale and extend processes between the keratinocytes of the stratum basale and spinosum. Melanocytes produce the pigment melanin that protects against radiation. Melanin is produced in membrane-bound organelles called melanosomes that derive from the Golgi. Melanosomes are transported to the ends of the melanocyte Melanocyte

processes where neighboring keratinocytes phagocytose the Kalbouneh Langerhansmelanosomes.cell Langerhans cells are antigen-presenting cells in Heba

the immune system. Dr.

Melanocytes :according to the location Sweat glands

**apocrine sweat glands secrete in both modes of secretion: merocrine and aprocrine 21

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh Sweat Glands

. Merocrine secretion . Empty into hair follicle . Empty directly onto skin surface . Location: armpits, groin, nipples . Viscous, cloudy secretion  good . Location: most all over body (esp. nutrient source for bacteria (odor !!) abundant on palms & soles: ~ 500/cm2) . Secretion may contain Pheromones . Secretion begins at puberty and is . Clear, watery secretion (99% stimulated during emotional distress H2O; rest NaCl + some waste Scent glands

products

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr. → simple coiled tubular glands: when a section is taken we find rounded: • Dark stained: duct • Lightly stained: secretary portion

Apocrine sweat glands Eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands Kalbouneh

24 Heba

Sweat glands appears rounded profiles within the epidermis: Dr. Apocrine larger in size with wide lumens in comparing with eccrine sweat glands. Apocrine sweat gland

Eccrine sweat gland Kalbouneh

Heba Dr.

*Once I see the hair follicle , I realize it’s a skin This section is taken from axilla, genital a skin section area (where we have apocrine sweat ** The hair follicle is surrounded by glands) adipocytes, then the hair follicle extends down in the dermis ** Can’t be taken from the scalp because it doesn’t have apocrine sweat glands

Apocrine or eccrine sweat glands????

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr. Apocrine: Because the apical surfaces of • Eccrine sweat glands are seen in thin and the cells have apocrine mode thick skin, not only thick skin of secretion (separation of apical part of cells) Apocrine or eccrine sweat glands????

A: Duct B: secretory portion

• Apocrine sweat glands: → wide lumens → not clear apical part of cells (separation of apical part) Meissner's corpuscles localize in the dermis between epidermal ridges.

Meissner's corpuscles are touch receptors and enriched in fingers and toes

Kalbouneh

Heba Dr. Meissner’s corpuscle → according to its shape and location

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh Meissner’s corpuscle

Dr. Heba Kalbouneh Pacinian Corpuscle Pacinian corpuscles are large (~ 1 mm), onion-like structures in the dermis and hypodermis. Pacinian corpuscles contain a myelinated nerve ending in the central core of the structure. Pacinian corpuscles are sensitive to mechanical and vibratory pressure, Kalbouneh

rapidly changing pressure Heba Dr.
