1. Instructions

2. 1. There are 5 layers to the epidermis & you will represent each layer within your drawing. Add each of the following epidermal layers and color each as indicated below. Be sure to make the thickness of each layer proportional to what it is in real life (number of cell layers thick). stratum basale (dark purple)stratum spinosum (orange) stratum granulosum (pink) Stratum lucidum (clear/white)stratum corneum (white w/ black dashes) 2. Black stars* will represent Melanocytes which produce pigment. Add stars to the Stratum basale, spinosum and granulosum. 3. Green plus signs (+) will represent Keratinocytes which water repel on the skin. Add + to 4 layers. 4. Red dollar signs ($) will represent Langerhans cells which defend against pathogens. Add $ to Stratum spinosum 5. Color & Label each of the following nerve endings as directed below. free dendrite nerve endings (gray)Merkel discs “light touch” receptor (pink) 6. Make sure to leave room in your epidermis for the hair root to pass through & outside of the epidermis. Label the hair shaft. 7. Write the Four (4) functions of the epidermis.

Label all structures’ function. (i.e. sudoriferous gland- sweat gland) Tape the epidermis above the dermis.
