azibird The stratum lucidum is only present in the thick skin of the palms, soles, and digits. So the stratum granulosum and corneum do touch in most of the body. I guess they just aren't connected by desmosomes. https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/5-1-layers-of-the-skin/ +

peridot Wow if I'm understanding this correct, lamina lucida (basement membrane) is not the same as stratum lucidum (between stratum corneum and stratum granulosum). That def confused me about this question bc I simultaneously was like wait isn't this in the basement membrane but also recalled the picture in FA with all the layers. Thanks so much for the super detailed explanation of all the answer choices! +1

sympathetikey This is why I was looking for some answer indicating keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum...instead they just gave a bunch of bs choices. +29

roygbiv I'm confused because I also know that S. aureus cleaves desmoglein in the stratum granulosum, so why is it specifically this answer? +2

duat98 desomosomes connects cells to cells. hemidesmosome connects cells to basement membrane. +2

medguru2295 I think what this is really asking is can you tell Pemphigus Vulgaris from Bullous Pemphigoid Vulgaris (question)- Attack on DESMOSOMES- this separates some keratinocytes from others (ie some in basal layer from ones above). Pemphigoid- attack on HEMIDESMOSOMES- this means separation of the keratinocytes from the basement membrane. +2

I answered this question just knowing that desmosomes connect cell-to-cell so I chose the answer with the same cell type (keratinocyte to keratinocyte)

How come melanocytes:basal keratinocytes don't also have a desmosomal connection (in addition to their E-cadherin link)?

vivijujubebe melanocyte is not part of the epidermal structure. they're at the epidermal-dermal junction and they produce melanin which is transported to the epidermal +

sattanki Not too sure on this one, but I interpreted the basal keartinocyte:suprabasal keratinocyte as the stratum spinosum region, which is known to have the most desmosomes. +
