Tyloma are caused by increased production of cells called keratinocytes! True or false?

Please only answer if really sure and read question carefully, there might be little words or word swaps in there that make the statement false. This is really important to me. THANKS!Tyloma are caused by increased production of cells called keratinocytes! True or false?
tyloma --%26gt; callosity





A circumscribed thickening of the keratin layer of the epidermis as a result of repeated friction or intermittent pressure.





Synonym: callositas, callus, keratoma, poroma, tyle, tyloma.





Another definition:


A callus (tyloma) is an area of skin ( epithelial layer called keratinocytes) that thickens after exposure to repetitive friction and pressure to avoid blistering.





Tyloma is formed by mechanically induced hyperkeratosis. Hyperkeratosis is accelerated production of keratin cells.


So, the answer is true.Tyloma are caused by increased production of cells called keratinocytes! True or false?
True.





Corns and calluses [Tylomas] are caused by response to friction and pressure. Repetitive injury results in the skin trying to protect itself from blistering. The basal epidermal cells (keratinocytes) increase in number resulting in thicker prickle cell layer and thicker stratum corneum on the skin surface. -
