Anatomical hints: - Functions: Skin is not only a passive protective barrier, but a complex organ with many functions: ● Protects deeper tissues from injury, drying and invasion of microorganisms (through production of protective keratin layer and presence of immune cells like Langerhans cells and T lymphocytes). ● Keratinocytes are sites for the biosynthesis of soluble molecules (cytokines) that regulate adjacent epidermal cells as well as cells in the dermis. ● Has important role in thermoregulation (through sweat glands). ● Absorbs ultraviolet light (by melanin pigments). ● Has cosmetic function ● Metabolizes vitamin D ● Contains peripheral endings of sensory nerves (warn of potentially damaging physical factors in the environment). - Histology: Skin is composed of three main components (epidermis & skin adnexa, melanocytic system, and dermis & subcutis). E p i d e r m i s ● Epidermis is outer layer of skin ● Epidermis forms outer layer of keratin that is protective and waterproof. ● Epidermis is composed of stratified squamous epithelium (keratinocytes) in 4 layers: inner basal, squamous, granular and outer cornified. ● Other cells present include melanocytes, Langerhans’ cells and Merkel cells. ● Skin is thicker in palms and soles, which contain epidermal ridges that prevent slipping and form fingerprints and footprints. ● Keratinization takes 30-45 days; alterations in pattern and speed cause dermatoses, hyperkeratosis or parakeratosis. ● Dermoepidermal junction: thrown into undulating folds of interlocking ridges of epidermis (rete ridges) and dermal papillae.

Desmosomes (macula adherens) Hemidesmosomes - Definition: - Definition: They are localized spot-like adhesions randomly arranged on the lateral sides Situated at the undersurface of basal keratinocytes, linking them to basement of plasma membranes. They are specialized for cell-to-cell adhesions and membrane. helpful to resist shearing forces. - Structure: - Structure: (1) The hemidesmosome represent half desmosome. (1) Desmosomes are molecular complexes of cell adhesion proteins (2) The hemidesmosome might consist of two proteins: the BPAg1 protein (desmoglein and desmocollin), and linking proteins that attach the cell (located at the intracellular side of the hemidesmosome, bind to keratin surface adhesion proteins to intracellular keratin cytoskeletal filaments. intermediate filaments), and the BPAg2 protein (transmembranous protein (2) Desmoglein and desmocollin (members of the cadherin family) that contains an intracellular domain bonded to BPAg1, a transmembranous are transmembrane proteins that bridge the space between segment, and an extracellular domain that projects into the lamina lucida of adjacent epithelial cells by way of homophilic binding of their extracellular basement membrane). domains to other desmogleins and desmocollins on the adjacent cell. (4) Other proteins that either form or stabilize hemidesmosomes are also (3) On the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane, there are two dense present. For example intracellular plectin protein (that binds to keratin structures (outer and inner dense Plaques), spanned by filaments) is bonded to a single-pass transmembrane adhesion molecule the Desmoplakin protein. The Outer Dense Plaque is where the cytoplasmic (α6β4 integrin). The integrin might then attach to one of many multi-adhesive domains of the cadherins attach to desmoplakin (via plakoglobin and proteins such as laminin & collageb VII (anchoring filaments & fibrils), that plakophillin). The Inner Dense Plaque is where desmoplakin attaches to resident within the basement membrane. intracellular keratin cytoskeletal filaments.
