| The protein that permits stretching and recoiling of the skin is | elastin. |
| Skin inflammation that primarily involves the papillary layer is termed | dermatitis |
| A surgical incision parallel to the lines of cleavage | ) closes and heals with relatively little scarring. |
| While assessing a patient, you discover that after pinching the skin on the back of the hand, it remains peaked. This is a sign of | dehydration. |
| Stretch marks occur when | the skin is so extensively stretched that its elastic limits are exceeded. |
| While assessing a patient, you discover that after pinching the skin on the back of the hand, it remains peaked. This is a sign of | dehydration. |
| All of the following are true of the subcutaneous layer,except it | is attached to the dermis by a basement membrane. |
| Accessory structures of the skin include all of the following,except | epidermis. |
| The layer of hard keratin that coats the hair is termed the | cuticle. |
| Variations in hair color reflect differences in the pigment produced by | melanocytes. |
| Lanugo is found | on a fetus. |
| If the papilla of a hair follicle is destroyed, | the hair matrix will lose its blood supply |
| Which statement about hairs is false? | Club hairs are ingrown hairs. |
| When the arrector pili muscles contract | "goose bumps" are formed. |
| Each of the following statements concerning hair is true,except one. Identify the exception. | Scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life. |
| A common cause of dandruff is | inflammation around sebaceous glands. |
| Glands that discharge an oily secretion into hair follicles are ________ glands. | sebaceous |
| The ________ glands in the axilla become active at the time of puberty. | apocrine sweat |
| Sensible perspiration is produced by ________ glands. | merocrine sweat |
| Earwax is produced by ________ glands. | ceruminous |
| Merocrine sweat contains ________ to protect against bacteria. | dermicidin |
| The highest concentration of merocrine sweat glands is found | on the palms of the hands. |
| Each of the following statements concerning sebaceous glands and sebum is true,except one. Identify the exception | Most sebaceous glands are coiled tubular glands |
| ________ sweat glands are widely distributed across the body surface, ________ glands are located wherever hair follicles exist, and ________ sweat glands are found only in a few areas. | Merocrine; sebaceous; apocrine |
| Which of the following happens if body temperature rises above normal? | Blood flow to the skin increases. |
| Merocrine sweat glands | secrete a watery fluid directly onto the surface of the skin. |
| All of the following are true of perspiration produced by merocrine sweat glands,except that it | produces the body odor characteristic of "sweating." |
| The nail body covers the | nail bed |
| Nail production occurs at the nail | root. |
| The cuticle around a nail is the | eponychium. |
| The stratum corneum just under the free-edge of a nail is the | hyponychium. |
| A child who skins his knee in a fall has a(n) | abrasion |
| In a penetrating wound, ________ divide to produce mobile cells that repair the dermis. | fibroblasts |
| The type of burn that may require a skin graft is a | third-degree burn |
| If a fair-skinned person is sunburned, why does his or her skin turn red? | The blood flow to the skin increases. |
| Skin can regenerate effectively even after considerable damage has occurred because | stem cells persist in both epithelial and connective-tissue components of the skin even after injury. |
| The following are stages in the regeneration of skin following an injury. | 1. blood clot/scab formation 2. cellular migration 3. epidermis covers granulation tissue 4. epidermis covers scar tissue |
| Scar tissue is the result of | ) large numbers of collagen fibers and relatively few blood vessels in the injured area. |
| During repair of the integument, fibroblasts follow areas of new capillary growth and produce ________ tissue. | granulation |
| Treatment of full-thickness burns includes which of the following? | assisting tissue repair preventing infection increasing caloric intake replacing fluid |
| Charlie is badly burned in an accident. When he reaches the emergency room, the examining physician finds that he can remove entire hair follicles from Charlie's arm when he gently pulls on a hair with his forceps. Charlie is suffering from a(n) | third-degree burn. |
| A full-thickness burn injury can be life threatening. A physician treating a burn victim would likely order all of the following,except | ice packs applied to the burn area |
| The effects of aging on the skin include | a decline in the activity of sebaceous glands. |
| Wrinkles in elderly individuals are the result of | loss of elastic filaments in the reticular layer of the dermis. |
| Why would an elderly person be more prone to skin infections than a younger person? | Basal cell activity is reduced in the elderly. |

| Fine hairs (like "velvet") that lack pigment and cover much of the body surface are called ________. | vellus hairs |
| Coarse pigmented hairs are called ________ | terminal hairs |
| The substance called sebum is commonly known as ________. | skin oil |
| In the condition known as erythema, the skin takes on a(n) ________ color. | reddish |
