Q
  1. Why does damaged cartilage heal slow?
    a. Damaged cartilage undergoes fibrosis, which interferes with the movement of materials needed for repair.
    b. Cartilage does not contain fibroblasts, which are needed to produce the fibers in cartilage tissue.
    c. Cartilage is avascular, so materials need for repair must diffuse from surrounding tissue.
    d. Chrondrocytes cannot be replaced once they are damaged.
    e. Chrondrocytes undergo mitosis slowly, which delays healing.
A

Cartilage is avascular, so materials need for repair must diffuse from surrounding tissue.

Q
  1. What types of tissues make up the epidermis and the dermis?
A
  1. The epidermis is composed of epithelial tissue; the dermis is made up of connective tissue.
41
Q
  1. Which epidermal layer includes stem cells that continually undergo cell division?
A
  1. The stratum basale is the layer of the epidermis with stem cells that continually undergo cell division.
42
Q
  1. What is the function of melanin?
A
  1. Melanin protects DNA of keratinocytes from the damaging effects of UV light.
43
Q
  1. Why does it hurt when you pluck a hair out but not when you have a haircut?
A
  1. Plucking a hair stimulates hair root plexuses in the dermis, some of which are sensitive to pain. Because the cells of a hair shaft are already dead and the hair shaft lacks nerves, cutting hair is not painful.
44
Q
  1. Would you expect an epidermal wound to bleed? Why or why not?
A
  1. Since the epidermis is avascular, an epidermal wound would not produce bleeding.
45
Q
  1. What is the most common type of skin cancer?
A
  1. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer.
46
Q
  1. What factors determine the seriousness of a burn?
A
  1. The seriousness of a burn is determined by the depth and extent of the area involved, the individual’s age, and general health.
47
Q
  1. The epidermal layer that is found in thick but not in thin skin is the __________.
A
  1. Stratum Lucidem
