Chapter 8, Problem 7WIO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The cell division occurs in the skin and its relation with the tattoos.
Concept introduction:
Skin is the soft outer covering of animals. In humans, the skin is made up of three layers, the outermost is the epidermis which provides a waterproof barrier and creates the skin tone; the inner layer is dermis which contains connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat gland.
The third layer is subcutaneous tissue which is made up of fat and connective tissue. The cell cycle of skin takes place very fast. In this, the new cells are grown beneath the epidermis as the old cells of epidermis sheds then new cells will take the place of old cells and renew the epidermis layer.

Skin cells from the body do not differentiate when they are simply placed in a tissue
culture medium; that is, they do not organize into the structure of skin, with different
layers and different cell types. What is needed to cause such differentiation to occur?
Indicate the most important requirements on any material used.

Below is an image of human cheek cells (animal cells).
1. Can you see the nuclei of human cheek cells? If you can
see the nuclei, then label a nucleus of one human cheek
cell.
2. Were the human cheek cells stained? How do you know?
You are a paralyzed patient in need of surgery to help regrow your spinal nerve cells. There are two types of procedures available to you, the use of either adult or embryonic stem cells to regrow your nerve cells. What questions should you ask to identify one difference between adult and embryonic stem cells?

- You have been asked to do a strucutural study to understand how increasing cell surface area affects cell size, cell shape and functions. What cell type would help you most efficiently observe the effects of increasing surface area? Choices: A. Monocytes from the blood serum. Monocytes are largely roughly spherical cells. B. Red Blood cells from the bone marrow. The shape of Red blood cells is a biconcave disk and looks like a donut. C. Stem cells from skin. In this case assume a skin stem cell is flat and plate like. D. Microvilli covered cells from the intestines. Microvilli are tiny hair like protrusions in the plasma membrane of intestinal cells that increase the absorption of nutrients in the intestines.arrow_forwardEstimate the time spent in each phase (duration) assuming that the cell cycle for a skin cell is 24hrs (1440min).
