| 50. | Describe how an arrector pili muscle works. | |
| Ans: | Arrector pili are smooth muscles that extend from the superficial dermis of the skin to the side of the hair follicle. In its normal position, hair emerges at an angle to the surface of the skin. Under physiological or emotional stress, such as cold or fright, autonomic nerve endings stimulate the arrector pili muscle to contract, which pulls the hair shafts perpendicular to the skin surface. This action causes “goose bumps” because the skin around the shaft forms slight elevations. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 51. | Briefly describe the functions of the skin. | |
| Ans: | The functions of the skin include thermoregulation. The skin thermoregulates in two major ways. The skin does this by liberating sweat at its surface and by adjusting the flow of blood in the dermis. In response to low temperatures, production of sweat is decreased to conserve heat. The skin covers the body and provides protection by keratin, lipids, secretions like oil and sweat and immunological protection. The skin can detect and respond to cutaneous sensations. The skin acts in secretion and absorption. The skin also can synthesize vitamin D. The skin will also be a storage area for blood. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 52. | Briefly describe the steps in epidermal wound healing. | |
| Ans: | In response to an epidermal injury, basal cells of the epidermis surrounding the wound break contact with the basement membrane. The cells then enlarge and migrate across the wound. When epidermal cells encounter each other they stop migrating due to contact inhibition. Migration of the epidermal cells stops completely when each is finally in contact with other epidermal cells on all sides. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 53. | Briefly describe the steps in deep wound healing. | |
| Ans: | In deep wound healing, a blood clot forms during the inflammation response and loosely unites the wound edges. Then in the migratory phase the clot becomes a scab and epithelial cells migrate beneath the scab to bridge the wound. Fibroblasts migrate along fibrin threads and begin synthesizing scar tissue and damaged blood vessels begin to regrow. During the maturation phase, the scab sloughs off once the epidermis has been restored to normal thickness. Collagen fibers become more organized, fibroblasts decrease in number and blood vessels are restored to normal. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 54. | Describe the structural characteristics of the epidermis that relate to its protection function. | |
| Ans: | Multiple layers of cells in stratified squamous epithelium help resist friction. Keratin of intermediate filaments provides strength to tissue by binding cells tightly together and to underlying tissue, and by producing a barrier to microbes. Lamellar granules of keratinocytes produce lipid rich, water repellent sealant to protect from dehydration and entry of foreign materials. Melanin, produced by melanocytes, protects underlying tissue from UV light. Sebum secreted onto the surface helps protect from dehydration and microbial invasion. Langerhans cells participate in immune response to microbial invasion. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 55. | Compare and contrast the locations and structure of thin and thick skin. | |
| Ans: | Thick skin is found on palms and palmar surfaces of digits and soles, while thin skin is found in all other areas but not these. Thick skin is 4-5x thicker than thin skin. The stratum lucidum is present in thick skin but not thin, and strata spinosum and corneum are thicker. Thick skin exhibits epidermal ridges, more sweat glands and denser sensory receptors. Thin skin has hair follicles and sebaceous glands, while thick skin does not. | |
| Difficulty: medium | ||
| 56. | List and briefly discuss the functions of skin. | |
| Ans: | 1. regulation of body temperature via sweat production and changes in blood flow
2. protection from mechanical injury, bacterial invasion (via keratin), dehydration (via product of lamellar granules), and UV light (via melanin) 3. sensory reception via receptors for temperature, touch, pressure, pain 4. excretion via sweat 5. immunity via Langerhans cells 6. blood reservoir for 8-10% of total blood flow 7. synthesis of vitamin D from precursors in skin activated by UV light |

| 57. | John has just been brought into the emergency room following a fiery explosion at a chemical plant. He is diagnosed with third degree burns over the anterior surfaces of his arms and trunk. What specific structural damage has occurred to his skin? What risks to John’s life have resulted from this damage? | |
| Ans: | John has lost approximately 36% of his skin’s surface area (according to the Rule of Nines), which leads to severe systemic effects. The epidermis, dermis and associated structures have been destroyed. Sensory function is lost. Loss of epidermis (and so, lost keratin and Langerhans cells) leaves John open to microbial invasion. Loss of keratinized structures and lamellar granules allows for extreme water loss, leading to dehydration, reduced blood volume and circulation, and decreased urine output. | |
