This is a much better way yo learn histology than commuting to the med school and sitting for hours on a slide waiting for the instructor to drop by. This is the way it should be done. Thanks a lot doc!

"Stratum spongiosum ...That is just Alzheimer kicking in" You have a great sense of humor :) Thank you for doing these videos:)

Thank you VERY much for your videos. 6 years later and you are still benefiting MANY histology students!!!

These lectures in histology and pathology are a medical milestone that have enlightened students and teachers alike. Thank you, Dr. Minarcik. From Wiki, the layers of the skin are (from the outside in): 1. Cornified layer (stratum corneum) 2. Clear/translucent layer (stratum lucidum, only in palms and soles) 3. Granular layer (stratum granulosum) 4. Spinous layer (stratum spinosum) 5. Basal/germinal layer (stratum basale/germinativum). The term Malpighian layer (stratum malpighi) is usually defined as both the stratum basale and stratum spinosum.

13 years later and I'm using this for my Intro to A&P class. Thank you for this series! Incredibly helpful!

I know this series is over a decade old, but it's also saving my tail in my current histo class, so - thank you!! These are very well done and they're a fantastic way to study and review for my upcoming midterm!

I really feel this format is the ultimate way to prepare for practical histological examinations, Big props!

This is awesome............. thanks a lot sir..... This made my day........ you "shotgun" method is brilliant and this is exactly the way we want to study...not just memorize some stuff to vomit in the exam papers ..... God bless !

I am at the end of my preclinical years... I've been taking histology lectures for a while now but I really feel I still didn't master histology slides... Looka like I found what I need... Thank you

@rockernoobsthurein The virtual microscope online at the Univ. of Iowa displays the slides, Camtasia records them, my 3-dollar radio-shack microphone describes them, KZfaq receives the finished product.

Thank You very much. Your pathophysiology videos have been very helpful. I really appreciate your making this information free and accessible. Thanks.

I'm having fun watching these you're such a natural it makes it so easy to learn thank you sir !

Great review. However, two additional pieces of information that would help are: 1. Areas of the body where we can find such thin skin and 2. The actual thicknesses for various layers in microns or mm. Thank you for posting.

Thanks for all the pathology and histology videos they have been so helpful!

The whole shotgun histology series is amazing. A biiiiig thank you for doing this. I have an histology exam on monday, and if I get an A i'll totally dedicate it to you haha!

Its almost like you are teaching me on a pentahead microscope....thanks a lot and kudos for all your effort.

Great stuff. This is so much better than a static textbook. I feel like I actually retain and am not worried that I am misidentifying stuff like I am when I see an image in a book with text but nobody explicitly identifying stuff.

This is so much helpful!! THANK YOU! Love your shotgun-philosophy....!

wow! thank u so much sir...2007 - 2020!!

watching in 2020 still old is gold

This was very helpful. Thank you so much!!

This is amazing, thank you so very much ! :)

4:43 I believe that's a keratinocyte rather than a melanocyte. Keratinocytes tend to have high melanosome/melanin concentrations due to rapid phagocytosis of the melanosomes from the melanocyte. Melanocytes tend to have nuclei surrounded by a white clearing of cytoplasm. I believe you can see one a little to the right of the keratinocyte you were pointing at.

Simple quick visual pattern recognition

Really nice video. Well done and funny sometimes. It really helps. Thank you for these :-)

The entire second year (med 2) medical students at the University of Zambia entirely depends on you. Thank you 🙏🏾

Great video which will never age. I wonder what happened with the slide processing, though. Everything is pink... did the lab tech run out of haematoxylin?

Also forgot to mention, in the papillary dermis, those processes that weave up and down, are called the 'Rete Ridges' love your videos!

This is amazing, thank you so much!

Thank you so much.. i would also love to see the hair follicles and the sebaceous glands???

He did a great job indeed, but it still does matter. Thanks for all your videos, man. Cheers from Argentina

THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are awesome!

I have a question! What is that white space in between the collagen? It always bothers me

Doc, you are insane. How can you possibly tell nerves and blood vessels apart. Also, you are doing it like i drink a whole jug of water in one breath:)

Nice slide, thank you. Would you mention, please what kind of cells the body of the sweat gland consist of.

Thank you .Dr

Very good, helped me to pass my exam. True.

does the stratum spinosum contain keratin,maybe in form of filaments?

Thanks for the information.

Hello Professor. Does thin skin not always have hair follicles? I was told that, but I recently failed a Practical Microscopy test because I could not identify "Thin Skin". I suspected it, but since there was no hair follicles, I got desperate and wrote Urinary Bladder (Cause Urothelium can sometime look similar to Stratified Squamous).

I thought stratum lucidum is only present in thick skin?

How can you differentiate between the sweat glands, blood vessel, and the nerve? Please professor :)

Hey thanks for the video! Amazing discussion. I would just like to point out only thick skin has stratum lucidum

Still incredibly useful!

Thank you so much sir. I was dreading this posting. You actually made it so much easier and fun. All your videos are really very helpful. Great work.Stay blessed.From Malaysia.

Stratum germinativum is aka stratum basale. Is the stratum spongiosum also known as the stratum spinosum?

there is no stratum lucidum in thin skin...was that just a mistake?

very helpful, thank you :-)

Thank u

Thanks a lot!, MS2

very helpful!

@nuke20ar All thin skin does have hair, in histology structures are viewed under a micrscope, therefore they may not be visible with the naked eye.

What is the programme you are using to show the slides?

I downloaded for personal use. Thanks

Probably a sample from a soft-skinned hairless beauty, why worry about hair when there are more nicer things to learn here for nonhistologists. U post a video if u have one with a hair. Thank u Shotgun!

THANKS

@mv2slash2 spinosum is the correct term

@gottalottasteil8 yup there isn't stratum lucidum in thin skin

My question is , does the corneum will growth after we over exfoliate a skin on the face , and does the vellus hair will growth more ?

@MrMomomade IMHO they are all the same

How can you tell which is a nerve and which is a blood vessel? They look fairly similar to me.

About germinativum, do you mean Malphigian?

I think Lucidum is only found on thick skin and not thin skin

why not use eyelid as thin skin?

thankyouuuuuiu soooo muchhhh

You said stratum lucidum. But I thought that is only in thick skin. This is describing thin skin.

no, he said it was not in this kind of skin.

stratum lucidum only in thick skin

Stratum Basale I think.

класс

selfless

which program does he use?

germativum or basalis

This is awesome and very helpful. Good luck with that Alzheimer's lol.

@LovesRock SHOTGUN HISTOLOGY: Helping thousands of students to KICK ASS for four years!

nope, that´s true... lucidum can be seen only in thick skin

the same

@imnotaqtp stratum basale.

It isn't a thin skin :)

@bioenzyme89 stratum basale

@mv2slash2 :-D spungeosum
