    Anatomy and Physiology of Skin

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Rafi
    The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of skin. It describes the layers of the epidermis including the stratum corneum, stratum basale, and stratum lucidum. It also describes the dermis, noting it contains blood vessels, sweat glands, hair follicles, and touch receptors. The epidermis and dermis together make up the skin, which acts as a protective barrier and regulates temperature and moisture.

    ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF SKIN

    Keratinocytes are the predominant cells in the: epidermis

    Nourishment to cells in the epidermis is provided by: blood vessels in the dermal papillae

    Absorption of damaging light rays is the primary function of:  Keratohyalin

    The layer of the skin from which new epidermal cells are derived is the Stratum basale

    The function of keratin is to: make skin tough and waterproof

    The reproducing cells of the epidermis are found in the Stratum basale

    The stratum basale contains: stem cells of keratinocytes

    Which of the following is most superficial? stratum corneum  

    The epidermis is made up of:  stratified squamous epithelium

    The outermost layer of the epidermis is the:     Stratum corneum

    Sweat is produced by:     sudoriferous glands.

    Which of the following is present in thick skin but not in thin skin?     stratum lucidum

    The function of melanin is to Protect skin from ultraviolet light

    Hair and nails are modifications of the Epidermis

    The stratum corneum is: made up of dead cells.

    The "ABCD" signs are used to assess: a skin lesion suspected of being a malignant
    melanoma.

    The average length of time for a cell to be produced by the stratum basale, rise to the surface,
    become keratinized, and slough off is about how long?     one month

    Corpuscles of touch (Meissner's corpuscles) are located in the:      dermal papillae.

    Just beneath the stratum basale of the epidermis is the:     papillary regions of the dermis.

    Nutrients reach the surface of the skin (epidermis) through the process of: Diffusing through
    the tissue fluid from blood vessels in the dermis.
    The papillary region of the dermis consists mostly of: areolar connective tissue.

    The reticular layer of the dermis consists mostly of:    dense irregular connective tissue.

    Striae are:    stretch marks resulting from tears in the dermis.

    Fat storage is an important function of the:      subcutaneous layer.

    Synthesis of vitamin D begins with the activation of a precursor molecule in the skin by:     UV
    light.

    Enzymatic activity within melanosomes is increased by:    exposure to UV light.

    The blood vessels nourishing a hair follicle are located in the:     papilla of the hair.
