22
Q

The cell type that makes up the majority of cells in the epidermis is the

A

Keratinocyte

23
Q

Two people with different skin colors differ in

A

How much melanin is produced by the melanocytes

24
Q

You are looking at a slide of the integument under the microscope. You see dense irregular connective tissue. What layer of the integument are you viewing?

A

Dermis

25
Q

Response to damaged tissues: Regeneration

A
  • Replacement of damaged cells with same cell type
  • Restores organ funciton
26
Q

Response to damaged tissues: Fibrosis

A
  • Gap filled with scar tissue
  • Composed of collagen produced by fibroblasts
  • Functional activities not resotred
  • If organ too damaged or cells lack ability to divide
27
Q

Stages of Wound Healing

A

1) Cut blood vessels bleen into wound
2) Blood clot- formed by platelets sticking together- forms and leucocytes clean the wound
3) Blood vessels regros and granulation tissue forms

Granulation tissue: first step in laying down skin: connective tissue

4)Epithelium regenerates and connective tissue fibrosis occurs (from bottom up)
