The OUTERMOST and thinnest layer of the skin is the:
surface
epidermis
subcutaneous
dermis

melanin
stratum corneum
stratum basale
stratum spinosum
Of the 5 epidermal layers, which layer is ONLY found in THICK SKIN!
stratum spinosum
stratum granulosum
stratum lucidium
stratum corneum
The dermis layer is made up of two regions, which are the:
papillary and reticular
papillary and dermal
dermal and basale
subcutaneous and reticular
The layer of fatty tissue found deeper (below) the dermis is called the
reticular region
papillary layer
epidermis
subcutaneous layer

follicle
epidermis
dermis
hypodermis

eliminates waste
stores calcium and phosphorus
helps regulate body temperature
Which vitamin enables the body to properly absorb and use calcium?
vitamin A
vitamin C
vitamin D
vitamin E
Layer of the dermis responsible for fingerprints
reticular region
stratum basale
papillary region
hypodermis
Wrinkles are caused by
the elastic fibers in the reticular region losing elasticity
the elastic fibers in the papillary region losing elasticity
the goosebump muscles losing their stretch
the cells in the dermis losing their blood supply
Why do you turn red when you are hot?
The blood vessels in your skin constrict, reducing blood flow to cool the body
The blood vessels constrict to increase blood flow to cool the body
The blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the skin
The blood vessels dilate to decrease blood flow to the skin
Melanin:
Helps protect skin from UV radiation
Is found in almost every human being
Is responsible for skin color
