Question 1

Blood vessels and nerves are generally absent in the _______ but are found throughout the _______.&#10;A) dermis; subcutaneous layer&#10;B) dermis; epidermis&#10;C) epidermis; cartilage&#10;D) epidermis; dermis

Accepted Answer

The epidermis does not contain blood vessels or nerves, while the dermis does contain both blood vessels and nerves. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Question 2

The subcutaneous layer beneath the dermis is also known as the _______.&#10;A) superficial layer&#10;B) superficial fascia&#10;C) epithelial fascia&#10;D) epidermis

Accepted Answer

The subcutaneous layer beneath the dermis is also known as the superficial fascia. This layer is composed of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue, and serves to anchor the skin to underlying tissue as well as provide insulation and energy storage. A is incorrect because superficial layer is too general and could refer to either the epidermis or dermis. C is incorrect because epithelial fascia is not a commonly used term in anatomy. D is incorrect because the epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, while the subcutaneous layer is located beneath the dermis.

Question 3

The skin is important in maintaining _______, the balanced internal environment.&#10;A) homeostasis&#10;B) mitosis&#10;C) homogenous&#10;D) heterogeneous

Accepted Answer

The skin plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, which is the maintenance of a stable and balanced internal environment in the body. It helps regulate body temperature, prevents water loss, and protects against environmental factors such as UV radiation and pathogens.

Question 4

_______ and _______ in the skin are an important part of the body's temperature regulating system.&#10;A) Vitamin D; sweat glands&#10;B) Capillary networks; subcutaneous layer&#10;C) Capillary networks; sweat glands&#10;D) Vitamin D; subcutaneous layer

Accepted Answer

Capillary networks help regulate body temperature by dilating (expanding) or constricting (narrowing) to allow or restrict blood flow to the skin's surface, where heat can be released. Sweat glands also play a crucial role in temperature regulation by producing sweat, which evaporates and cools the skin. Vitamin D is not directly involved in temperature regulation, and while the subcutaneous layer can insulate against extreme temperatures, it does not play an active role in regulating body temperature.

Question 5

New epidermal cells are pushed to the outer sublayer of skin called the _______.&#10;A) dermal papillae&#10;B) stratum corneum&#10;C) stratum basale&#10;D) superficial fascia

Accepted Answer

The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, and it is composed of dead skin cells that are continually shed and replaced by new cells from the underlying layer. The other options, dermal papillae, stratum basale, and superficial fascia, are all located deeper within the skin and are not involved in the turnover of epidermal cells.

Question 6

_______, also known as oil glands, are generally attached to hair follicles.&#10;A) Sebaceous glands&#10;B) Papillae&#10;C) Sweat glands&#10;D) Arrector pili

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous glands are typically associated with hair follicles and produce an oily substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and protect the skin and hair. Papillae are small, nipple-like projections on the surface of the skin that contain blood vessels and nerve endings. Sweat glands are responsible for producing sweat or perspiration, which helps to regulate body temperature. Arrector pili are small muscles attached to hair follicles that contract in response to cold or emotional stress, causing the hair to stand on end. None of these are generally associated with oil production in the skin.

Question 7

The part of the hair above the skin surface is the _______.&#10;A) root&#10;B) follicle&#10;C) shaft&#10;D) keratin

Accepted Answer

The shaft is the visible part of the hair that extends above the skin surface. The root is the part of the hair that is embedded in the skin. The follicle is the structure in the skin that surrounds the root and contains the hair bulb. Keratin is the protein that makes up hair and nails.

Question 8

_______ prevents loss of fluid so the cells do not dry out.&#10;A) Skin&#10;B) Melanin&#10;C) Carotene&#10;D) Pigment

Accepted Answer

Skin is the body's first line of defense in preventing the loss of fluid from the body. The outermost layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, consists of dead skin cells and lipids that act as a barrier to prevent water loss through evaporation.

Question 9

Located within the skin, _______ detect touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain.&#10;A) integumentary receptors&#10;B) thermal sensors&#10;C) sensory receptors&#10;D) epidermal sensors

Accepted Answer

The type of receptors described are sensory receptors, which are specialized cells located in the skin that detect various types of stimuli such as touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. While they are located within the skin, they are not necessarily specific to the integumentary system as they can be found in other parts of the body as well. Thermal sensors may be a type of sensory receptor, but the question specifically mentions other types of stimuli besides just heat and cold. Integumentary receptors and epidermal sensors are not commonly used terms in describing sensory receptors in the skin.

Question 10

The epidermis consists of stratified squamous _______ tissue.&#10;A) epithelial&#10;B) connective&#10;C) subcutaneous&#10;D) nervous

Accepted Answer

The epidermis is a type of epithelial tissue, specifically stratified squamous epithelium.
