The Structure and Function of Skin
Abstract
The third edition ofThe Structure and Function of Skinby Montagna and Parakkal continues to fulfill the authors' intentions of providing updated and current information on the anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of various aspects of skin function. The 433 pages are divided into chapters relating to the epidermis (including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells), dermis, cutaneous blood vessels, nerves, pilary apparatus, nails, and sebaceous, apocrine and eccrine glands. Each chapter is liberally supplied with pertinent illustrative diagrams, transmission and scanning electron micrographs, as well as with classic photomicrographs. The scanning and transmission electron micrographs are of high quality and are presented in such a way as to meaningfully relate to the text and correlate with the diagrams and photomicrographs. The chapters are each adequately referenced with not only the most current research papers, but with older classic scholarly works. Drs. Montagna and Parakkal have used studies on

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
