Why are lines of cleavage clinically significant?

A cut parallel to a cleavage line will remain closed.

Which of the following statements about nails is FALSE? Another name for the eponychium is cuticle. Nail production occurs at the nail root, located near the proximal end of the bone of the fingertip. Because nail tissue is dead, nails cannot indicate metabolic changes or diseases in the body. The eponychium is a fold of stratum corneum over the exposed nail near the root.

Because nail tissue is dead, nails cannot indicate metabolic changes or diseases in the body.

Which of the following statements about skin injury and repair is FALSE? Calluses form when stem cells in skin divide more rapidly with mechanical stress. Cells of the stratum germinativum divide rapidly and migrate to cover cut surfaces of injured skin. Damage to skin stimulates mast cells to trigger an inflammatory reaction. Because skin is just scraped rather than cut, an abrasion heals more quickly than an incision.

Because skin is just scraped rather than cut, an abrasion heals more quickly than an incision.

After a skin injury, the body initiates a wound-healing response. The first step of this response is the formation of a blood clot to stop bleeding. Which of the following would be the next response? increased production of melanin by melanocytes increased production of connective tissue an increase in Pacinian corpuscles around the wound an increased activity in the stratum lucidum

Connective Tissue

What is the significance of the lines of cleavage?

Cuts made parallel to the lines of cleavage heal with little scarring.

Why is limited exposure to UV light in sunlight beneficial?

It converts a steroid into vitamin D3.

Which of the following is an effect of epidermal growth factor? It reduces keratin production. It suppresses glandular activity. It slows the repair process. It promotes divisions of the germinative cells in the stratum germinativum.

Which of the following statements about integumentary repair is FALSE? Some adults form scar tissue called keloid that extends beyond the edges of the injury site. A scab restores the integrity of the epidermis and restricts invasion of the body by microorganisms. As fibroblasts move into damaged tissue, endothelial cells also move in and form new capillaries. Skin repairs occur at the same pace throughout a person's life.

Skin repairs occur at the same pace throughout a person's life.

Which of the following statements about skin pigmentation is FALSE? Albino individuals have as many melanocytes as non-albinos, but they cannot produce melanin.

Individuals with darker skin pigmentation are less likely to have skin cancer than those with lighter pigmentation under the same exposure to ultraviolet light.
