a...What structural characteristic of the epidermis prevents water loss and the entry of pathogens?
stratified squamous epithelium |
tactile disc |
dermal papillae |
melanocyte |
b...If you have a manicure and get your cuticles pushed back, the manicurist is technically doing what?
Pushing a portion of the stratum corneum back from the eponychium |
Pushing a portion of the stratum spinosum back from the lunula. |
Pushing a portion of the stratum germanitivum back from the hyponichium |
Pushing a portion of the stratum lucidum back from the nail body. |
c....Which layer of the dermis contains the capillaries, lymphatic vessels, and sensory nerve fibers that supply the epidermis?
subcutaneous layer |
stratum basale |
reticular layer |
papillary layer |
d....Reduction in the number of elastic fibers in the skin of the elderly results in __________.
osteoporosis |
hair loss |
wrinkles |
skin dryness |
e....All of the following are functions of the subcutaneous layer EXCEPT __________.
stabilizing the position of the skin relative to underlying tissues |
thermoregulation |
acting as a blood reservoir |
detection of fine touch |
The layer that contains areolar connective tissue is the __________ layer.
epidermal |
subcutaneous |

Which of the following is NOT an aging effect on skin?
Hair follicles become more active, producing longer, darker hairs. |
Glandular activity decreases. |
Blood supply to the dermis is reduced. |
The epidermis thins and the integument becomes less resilient. |
Why are the elderly more prone to skin infections?
They have a thinner epidermis. |
They have fewer dendritic (Langerhans) cells. |
Tissue repairs take longer. |
All of the listed responses are corre |
Individuals who live in locations with limited exposure to sunlight can have abnormal bone development due to an inability to absorb calcium and phosphate ions from the small intestine. Why does a limited exposure to sunlight cause abnormal bone development?
Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, is necessary for the normal absorption of calcium and phosphate ions. Vitamin D3 is made by cells in the epidermis due to exposure to sunlight. Without enough exposure to sunlight, the body won't produce enough vitamin D3. |
People exercise less in areas where there is limited sunlight. This lack of exercise can cause abnormal development of bones. |
People sleep more in areas of limited sunlight. |
People are more depressed in areas with limited sunlight, and depression can cause abnormal development of bones. |
The skin can move easily over the underlying muscles because of the loose connective tissue within the __________.
dermis |
cutaneous membrane |
epidermis |
hypodermis |
Two women are comparable in age, body conformation, and are pregnant at the same time, but one experiences stretch marks, while the other does not. What would be a possible hypothesis for why there was an observed difference?
The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio. |
The woman may have different gender babies. |
The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells. |
The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes. |
Collagen to repair a deep skin wound is produced by __________.
keratinocytes |
macrophages |
epidermal fibroblasts |
fibroblasts |
Skin exposed to ultraviolet light increases production of __________.
keratin |
carotene |
collagen |
melanin |
If an injury covers a large area, dermal repairs first begin with the division and migration of what cell type?
epidermal cells |
fibroblast cells |
melanocytes |
epithelial cells |
The process of skin repair after injury begins with __________.
formation of scar tissue |
inflammation |
formation of granulation tissue |
formation of a blood clot |
The epidermal layer that consists almost entirely of keratin is the __________.
reticular layer |
stratum granulosum |
stratum basale |
stratum corneum |
Which of these is NOT an accessory structure of the skin?
sebaceous glands |
hair |
hair follicles |
dermis |
