Total questions: 14
Worksheet time: 6mins
The following are the 3 layers of the integumentary system EXCEPT
Dermal papillae
connect the dermis to the hypodermis.
are found in the papillary layer of the dermis.
are found in the reticular layer of the dermis.
are composed of dense irregular connective tissue.
Melanocytes
secrete milk
are primarily found within the reticular layer of the dermis
play a role in immunity
are primarily found within the stratum basale
The reticular layer of the dermis is primarily composed of
adipose connective tissue.
dense irregular connective tissue.
areolar connective tissue.
dense regular connective tissue
Going from deep to superficial, which of the following is the correct order of the layers (stratum) of the epidermis?
basale, spinosum, granulosum, lucidum, corneum
basale, granulosum, spinosum, lucidum, corneum
corneum, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, basale
basale, lucidum, granulosum, spinosum, corneum
corneum, basale, spinosum, lucidum, granulosum
As cells move to the more superficial layers of the epidermis
they get closer to the hypodermis.
the amount of keratin they contain increases.
their metabolism increases
they take on a more cuboidal shape
they produce more melanin
The stratum basale is also referred to as the:
stratum granulosum
stratum spinosum
stratum germinativum
stratum of lopes
The speed of keratinization is mostly determined by
hormones and BMI
an individual's age and damage / stressors to the skin
The dermis is made up of the following two layers:
Two types of melanin include:
Melanocytes produce less melanin in these regions:
The key difference between albinism and vitiligo is that:
Vitiligo is caused by a lack of melanin, while Albinism is caused by the destruction of melanocytes.
Albinism is present from birth, while vitiligo can develops at 3 years of age.
The most common type of skin cancer is:
The deadliest form of skin cancer is:
