no
Classifications of burns:

2. second - partial thickness
3. third - full thickness
4. fourth
depth and % of body surface involved
First Degree


Sources
epidermis only, superficial
usually heal within two to three weeks.
thermal, sunburns
Second degree



sources
epidermis & dermis w/varying depths...histamine, capillaries are more permeable, fluid under tissue
same as first
Third Degree



sources
epidermis, dermis & all appendages, full thickness, slow healing, severe scarring, loss of normal rom
fire, flame or electrical

Melanocytes

Melanin
prevents loss or entry of water
if unbroken, prevents entry of pathogens

continuous mitosis produces new cells to replace worn off ones
produce melanin on exposure to UV rays
protects living skin layers from further exposure to UV Rays

insulation from cold
Papillary layer

Hair (follicles)


Nails

receptors
