Cells of the ________ are keratinized and dead.
- a. papillary layer
- b. stratum spinosum
- c. stratum basale
- d. stratum corneum
- e. stratum granulosum

Introduction:
The main type of cells which make up the epidermis are Markel cells, keratinocytes, with melanocytes and Langerhans cells. The subdivision of layers of the skin is strata carneum, strata lucidum, stratum granulosum, and stratum spinosum and stratum basale.
Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer: Option (d) stratum carneum.
Explanation of Solution
Rationale: This is the topmost layer, consists of dead cells that shed periodically and is progressively replaced by cells formed from the basal layer.
Option (a). Papillary layer. It is the upper most layer of the dermis. It intertwines with the rete ridges of the epidermis and is composed of fine and loosely arranged collagen fibres.
Option (b). Stratum spinosum. It is a layer of the epidermis found between the stratum granulosum and stratum basale.
Option(c).Stratum basale. It also contains melanocytes, cells that produce melanin, the pigment primarily responsible for giving skin its colour.
Option (e). Stratum granulosum. It is a thin layer of cells in the epidermis.
Stratum carneum is the top layer of the skin and it protects the living cells beneath it by providing a tough barrier between the environment and the lower layers of the skin.

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward

Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together.
