The 44 pages that link to Epidermis, each with the reason it gives.

• EcdysisRelated: The epidermis separates from and replaces the cuticle during a molt.

• CellulitisRelated: Its injury can create an entry point for bacteria, even though cellulitis extends deeper.

• Sebaceous glandRelated: The gland’s duct opens onto the skin surface, which this layer forms.

• Eccrine sweat glandRelated: The eccrine duct passes through it to open at the skin surface.

• Fish scaleRelated: It covers the scales and contributes to the protective skin surface.

• Snake scaleRelated: Snake scales develop from the epidermis and its specialized cells.

• Turtle shellRelated: Its keratinized surface forms the scutes over the shell’s bones.

• BarbelRelated: A barbel's surface carries sensory structures exposed to the surrounding water.

• KeratinizationRelated: Its surface layers undergo keratinization as cells move outward.

• ChaetaRelated: Chaetae develop from epidermal cells and emerge through the body surface.

• Crustacean moltingRelated: During premolt, epidermal cells detach from and secrete material beneath the old cuticle.

• Dermal denticleRelated: Denticles develop in association with the epidermis but extend into deeper skin.

• Cell junctionRelated: Desmosomes help epidermal cells withstand friction and mechanical stress.

• Sweat glandRelated: Many sweat ducts pass through the epidermis to open at the surface.

• PorcupineRelated: Porcupine quills develop from the epidermis, like other hairs.

• LongisquamaRelated: Its dorsal appendages have been interpreted as unusual skin-derived structures.
