|
|
Which of the following is not true about actinic kertosis: It is not life threatening It is a sign of skin cancer It occurs when the skin is suffering from sun damage It is a scaly area on sun damaged skin |
It is a sign of skin cancer |
|
|
Controls body temperature |
Thermoregulation |
|
|
The layer of the epidermis where mitotic divisions occur are |

|
|
Excessive exposure of the skin to UV radiation may cause redness ederna blisters and pain. The presence of blisters classifies the burns as: |
Second degree |
|
|
When detecting melanoma ABCD stands for: |

|
|

Stratum germinativum |
|
|
The grainy layer |
Stratum granulosum |
|
|
The basic factors interacting to produce skin color are: |
The presence of carotine and melanin |
|
|
Protects skin from sun damage |

|
|
What step of skin repair: bleeding occurs at the site of injury immediately after the injury mast cells in the region trigger an inflammatory response |
Step 1 |
|
|
What step of skin repair: After several weeks the scab has been shed and the epidermis is complete |
Step 4 |
|
|
One week after the injury the scab has been undermined by epidermal cells migrating over the mesh work produced by fibroblasts activity. Phagocytic activity around the site has almost ended and the fibrin clot is disintegrating |
Step 3 |
|
|
What step of skin repair: After several hours a scab has formed and cells from the stratum germivativum are migrating along the edges of the wound. Phagocytitic cells are removing debris. Clotting around the edges of the affected area partially isolates the region. |
Step 2 |
|
|
When you get a hair cut you feel no pain. Explain the reason why. |
All the hair on the outside is dead therefore it doesn't hurt. However if you pull on the root of the hair it'll hurt since it's close to the inside where the hair is alive. |
