Keratinocytes are the major cellular components of the epidermis. They are found in the four major epidermal strata: basale, spinosum, granulosum and corneum. Explain the characteristics of and the changes in the keratinocytes as they journey from the deepest to the most superficial epidermal strata.

Dr. Cortez is examining a microscope slide of a tissue sample of skin from a patient with large fluid-filled blisters. What does she see on the slide that would lead her to suspect the patient has bullous pemphigoid? O There is a split between the papillary and reticular layers of the dermis. The stratified squamous epithelium of the epidermis lacks defined layers and the cells of the stratum basale appear squamous in shape rather than cuboidal. O There is an obvious split between the epidermis and the underlying dermis. O The stratum corneum is separated from the stratum germinativum.
You are looking at a slide from a patients sole. Which of the following layers of the epidermis would be present in the sample from your patient's sole, but not if you had taken a sample from the skin at their ankle? : Stratum corneum Stratum basale Stratum lucidum Stratum papillum In the "ABCD" rule used while diagnosing melanoma, B stands for: : behavior of the lesion blueness of the lesion border of the lesion blood vessels in the lesion
Briefly answer the following questions:1. Cells of the epidermis are derived from stem cells of the stratum basale. Describe how the cells change as they become integrated into the different layers of the epidermis.2. What structures are produced from keratinization of the epidermis?
