what the function of the lipid-based substance secreted by keratinocytes is

Everyone’s skin contains about the same number of melanocytes, even though people have many different skin colors. How is this possible?

A person has a dermatitis (boils) or a wound infection and has a lot of pus. Is it possible to use trimetheprim as a treatment for such a condition? Why?

Please answer this question in your own words:  Define the following terms in your own words: melanocytes, keratinocytes, Albinism, and vitiligo.

State the function of keratin.

Skin color is a result of the relative amount of melanin in skin, relative amount of carotene in skin, and the degree of oxygenation of the blood. Relate the statement to the skin tone and color.

Describe the location and structure of the different tissue types (epithelial, muscle, nervous, connective) present in the integumentary system. Chapter 5 discussed predisposing causes of disease. Briefly describe four predisposing factors of disease that are associated with alopecia. Discuss the functional implications of the following structural changes in skin associated with aging. less subcutaneous fat and decreased circulation in the dermis decreased melanin production in the hair and skin decreased cell proliferation in the hair follicle reduced collagen and elastic production in the dermis decreased activity of the eccrine sudoriferous glands

Why are the desmosomes connecting the keratinocytes so important?

Explain why this difference between skin and mucosa “makes sense”. (Hint:  Consider the waterproofing function of the stratum corneum.)

Many organs of the body contain numeroussmaller organs, perhaps even thousands.Describe an example of this in the integumentary system
