How can the regeneration time required for completion of mitosis,differentiation,and movement of new keratinocytes from the stratum basale to the surface of the epidermis be accelerated?
A) By abrasion of the skin surface
B) By the presence of eleidin
C) By the epidermal proliferating unit
D) By the presence of dermal-epidermal junctions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The epidermal proliferating unit is a component of the epidermis responsible for the rapid cell turnover rate. By stimulating this unit, the regeneration time can be accelerated. Other factors such as abrasion of the skin surface or the presence of dermal-epidermal junctions do not directly affect the rate of mitosis or keratinocyte differentiation, while eleidin is a precursor to keratin and does not play a direct role in cell regeneration.
