Describe the relationship between friction and the skin.
The stratum basale dies and the corneum becomes thicker
The stratum lucidum is formed and creates a callus
Keratinocytes become more active and make the skin tougher
Friction stimulates the cells of teh stratum basale to dividemore, creating thicker skin
2. How is melanin distributed through the skin?
Melanocytes' spidery arms distribute melanin between and intokeratinocytes
Melanocytes divide at increasing rates the closer to the stratumcorneum you get
Melanocytes secrete melanin into the stratum spinosum
Melanocytes are only found in the stratum corneum, but sinceit's the superficial-most layer it appears to be richlysaturated
3
What does a second degree burn feature that the other tywo typesdo not?
Blistering & edema
Destruction of the dermis entirely
Quicker to heal
Pain and inflammation
