Despite the strength of the dermis, it is subject to tearing. How might a person know that the dermis has been previously stretched and/or torn? The skin will darken due to increased melanin accumulation. Flexure lines appear where the skin has been stressed. Tension, or cleavage, lines disappear.

What effects occur to the bones of astronauts who spend a prolonged period in space? Osteoblast activity is stimulated due to the weightlessness of space and the astronaut will continually remodel his bones to account for the weightlessness. Weight-bearing exercises are minimal due to the weightlessness of space, leading to the decreased amount of compression and tension on bones and decreased osteoblast activity. Weight-bearing exercises are easier due to the weightlessness of space, leading to the increased amount of compression and tension on bone and increased osteoblast activity. Weightlessness will strengthen the muscles and increase bone mass while stimulating osteoblast activity.
