One function of the integumentary system is to act as a barrier to bacteria; however, there are many microbes that already live on or in our bodies without causing infections.

Sunny and Fair Read the overview and complete the interactivities that follow. Skin pigmentation is critically important as protection from the mutagenic properties of UV light. The most serious complication of UV induced mutations in the skin is an aggressive and unpredictable malignancy; malignant melanoma. The incidence of this potentially fatal malignancy is on the rise in large part due to increased exposure to UV light. Some ethnic groups are at special risk. Julie is active in sports and has always loved the outdoors. Her athletic lifestyle often involves sun exposure and, unfortunately, she has not always been consistent with the use of sunscreen agents that would screen some of the UV light. Most of Julie's ancestors came from Ireland, and she has the red hair, pale skin, and freckles to prove it. She sunburns easily and has had at least three serious episodes (burns) over the past few years. Several months ago, a friend pointed out a brown spot over her right scapula. Since Julie remembered an uncle who had died of malignant melanoma, she decided to have her doctor check the mark.

1. Given that ultraviolet light exposure is instrumental in the development of malignant melanoma, one can reduce the risk of cancer by - all listed choices. 2. Just one or two bad sunburns can set the stage for malignant melanoma to develop, even years or decades into the future. - True

Since Julie remembered an uncle who had died of malignant melanoma, she decided to have her doctor check the mark.

1. Light-skinned people are at greatest risk for malignant melanoma because - the decreased amount of melanin allows more UV light penetration into the skin, therefore increasing the risk of cancer development. 2. If melanin is so important for protection against mutagenic UV exposure, why is it that some people are light skinned and obviously deficient in melanin? - People of northern climates historically have had less sun exposure, and the decreased skin melanin content is necessary for vitamin D production.
