22. Distinguish between the stratum basale and the stratum corneum regarding structure and function.

The stratum basale, the lowest layer of the epidermis, lies just above the dermis and contains basal cells that are constantly dividing. The new cells are pushed away from the dermis, accumulate the protein keratin and then die as they move away from the blood vessels of the dermis. These dead, flat, hard, waterproof cells form the stratum corneum, the surface layer of the epidermis.

81. Describe the skin’s involvement in temperature regulation.

Blood vessels in the dermis can constrict to receive less blood and conserve heat or dilate to receive more blood and allow heat to radiate away from the body. Sweat glands remain inactive or secrete sweat. Sweat carries heat away from the body as it evaporates.

82. Describe the effects that long-term exposure to the sun may have on the skin.

The exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes dividing skin cells to become cancerous. UV radiation also causes aging changes such as rough skin, mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, deep furrows, and benign skin growths.

83. Describe how the skin functions to promote bone development and maintenance.

When skin cells are exposed to UV radiation a precursor molecule in the cells is converted into vitamin D. The vitamin D travels to the liver and kidneys where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol. Calcitriol regulates the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, two substances required for the formation of bone matrix.

84. Describe how sweat cools the body and explain why sitting in front of a fan cools the body more rapidly.

Sweat absorbs body heat and the evaporation of sweat carries the heat away. Sitting in front of a fan increases the rate of sweat evaporation.
