Skin cells are specialized cells that make up the outermost layer of the skin, called the epidermis. They play a crucial role in protecting the body from external damage, regulating temperature, and maintaining overall skin health.
What is a skin cell made of?
Like all cells, skin cells are constructed from proteins, lipids, and other small molecules. They contain a nucleus and other organelles.
Why are skin cells important?
Skin cells are important because they protect the body from infection and injury. There are also specialized skin cells that produce proteins that make skin impermeable, give it its distinctive color, and facilitate immune responses.
What is skin and its function?
Skin has several functions. The skin cells' functions include protecting the body from infection and injury, playing a role in maintaining a normal body temperature, and containing touch, temperature, pressure, and pain sensors that allow you to sense the outside world.
What is the structure and function of skin cells?
The majority of skin is made of specialized squamous epithelial cells called keratinocytes. On the skin's surface, these cells are flattened and surrounded by a protein called keratin that make skin tough and impermeable. In the deeper layers of the epidermis, keratinocytes are shaped more like columns. As they age, they move towards the surface and become more and more flattened.
