Introduction

Adult skin histology showing epidermis, dermis and hypodermis as well as specializations, such as hair follicles and sweat glands

The skin provides a barrier between ourselves and our environment (temperature, water, UV), and contains specializations in different regions including hair, nails, teeth, glands and sensory receptors. In other species there are also specializations of beaks, scales and feathers.

The two major tissue organizations of epithelial (ectoderm, epidermis) and mesenchyme (mesoderm connective tissue, dermis and hypodermis) are shown within skin. In addition, we have also have extensive populating by melanocytes (neural crest) and sensory nerve endings.

Possibly the first epithelial tissue specialization from which arose other epithelial specializations now located inside the body. The external skin associated structures have many different roles and functions. This system is also an excellent model for distribution or "pattern" and adult stem cells.



This lecture will be presented by a SOMS researcher Dr. Annemiek Beverdam specialising in Integumentary and Stem Cell Development. Her lecture slides are linked below.

Terms

dermal papilla - the extensions of the dermis into the epidermis.

dermatoglyphic patterns - (Greek, derma = "skin", glyph = "carving") fingers, palms, toes, and soles skin patterns.

epidermal growth factor receptor - expressed on cells in the epidermis basal layer, signaling stimulates both epidermal growth and wound healing and also mediates an inhibition of differentiation.

rete ridge - the extensions of the epidermis into the dermis. These epidermal surface thickenings extend downward between underlying connective tissue dermal papillae. This is also the site of initial eccrine gland differentiation.
