101) Explain the ABCD rule.

The ABCD rule describes the appearance of the most serious form of skin cancer, melanoma. The "A" is for asymmetry. In melanoma, the two sides of the pigmented spot or mole do not match. The "B" is for border irregularity. In melanoma, the borders of the lesion are not smooth but exhibit indentations. The "C" is for color. In melanoma, the pigmented spot contains areas of different colors (blacks, browns, tans, and sometimes blues and reds). The "D" is for diameter. In melanoma, the spot is larger than 6 mm in diameter (the size of a pencil eraser).

104) Define and explain the function of the arrector pili.

The arrector pili are small bands of smooth muscle cells that connect each side of a hair follicle to the dermal tissue. They are activated by cold or fright and, when contracted, pull the hair follicle into an upright position, dimpling the skin surface with "goose bumps."

Identify four changes that occur to the skin and subcutaneous connective tissue as a result of aging, and state how these changes can be delayed.

1. The amount of subcutaneous tissue below the skin decreases, leading to an intolerance to cold in the elderly. 2. Because of decreased oil production and declining numbers of collagen fibers, the skin becomes drier and may become itchy and bothersome.3. Thinning of the skin makes it more susceptible to bruising and other types of injuries.4. A decrease in elasticity of the skin, along with the loss of subcutaneous fat, allows bags to form under the eyes and causes jowls to sag. To delay these changes, the skin should be kept clean and shielded from the sun, and a healthy diet with plenty of fluids should be maintained.

A container of gasoline exploded on Murray. He experienced some blistering to the skin on his face while the skin on his hands was blackened. Classify and explain the type of burns he received. What are his chances for a full recovery?

Blisters and red, painful skin indicate a second-degree burn. Second-degree burns affect the epidermis and upper region of the dermis. Regrowth usually occurs and scarring is rare if infection is prevented. Blackened, pain-free skin indicates a third-degree burn. This type of burn affects the full-thickness of the epidermis and dermis of the skin. The lack of pain results from damage to the nerve endings in the burned area. Regrowth is not possible, so skin grafts must be used.

D - hypodermis

53) Sebum is responsible for all of the following except:

D) body temperature regulation

50) What is the first threat to life from a massive third-degree burn:

27) Synovial membranes are found in the:

D) joint cavities

45) Nails are composed of:

D) keratin

46) The secretions of the eccrine glands are:

D) mostly water, sodium chloride, and trace amounts of wastes, lactic acid, and vitamin C

38) Melanocytes are found in the:

D) stratum basale

40) Which layer of the epidermis produces dandruff:

D) stratum corneum

102) Distinguish between the locations and secretions of apocrine and eccrine sweat glands.

Eccrine sweat glands are more numerous than apocrine sweat glands; they are found all over the body Eccrine sweat glands function in body temperature regulation. When we are too hot, eccrine sweat glands release sweat containing water, salts, vitamin C, and metabolic wastes on to the body's surface. Upon its evaporation, we are cooled down. The ducts of apocrine sweat glands empty into hair follicles in the axillary and genital areas. Apocrine sweat glands activate at puberty and produce sweat almost continuously, but their overall function is not know. Apocrine sweat is milky or yellowish in color due to fatty acids and proteins in the secretions.

2) The hair follicle is indicated by letter __________.

F

81) Squamous cell carcinoma

F) cancer of stratum spinosum cells

88) Hair root

G) part of the hair enclosed in the follicle

86) Decubitus ulcers

H) bedsores

Matrix

H) divides to form hair cells

76) Malignant melanoma

J) cancer of melanocytes

85) Male pattern baldness

K) pattern of hair loss in men due to genetics

107) Differentiate among the roles of melanocytes and keratinocytes. Where in the skin are these cells located?

Melanocytes are located in the stratum basale of the epidermis. These cells produce a pigment, melanin, upon exposure to the skin. Melanin functions to protect the dermis from damage due to UV radiation. Keratinocytes form most of the cells of the epidermis; they produce a water-resistant, tough protein called keratin.

103) Explain how the skin helps regulate body temperature.

The nervous system is responsible for controlling all temperature-regulating functions of the skin. When the temperature in the external environment is high, heat loss occurs as the nervous system activates sweat glands. Perspiration is produced, which evaporates from the skin surface, causing heat to be dissipated. At the same time, the nervous system causes blood to be flushed into skin capillary beds so that heat radiates from the body surface. In contrast, when the temperature in the external environment is low, the nervous system prevents blood from entering the skin capillary system and radiation to the body exterior is prevented so that perspiration does not occur. At the same time, blood is prevented from entering deeper tissues and the core temperature of the body is maintained.
