nerve, where it remains dormant until activated by emotional upset, fever, or
UV radiation

A

Cold sores (fever blisters). ; human herpesvirus 1 infection

64
Q

usually occur around the lips and in the mucosa of the mouth and
nose

A

Cold sores

65
Q

Itching, redness, and swelling of the skin, progressing to
blistering. It is caused by exposure of the skin to chemicals (such as those in
poison ivy) that provoke allergic responses in sensitive individuals.

A

nose) that develop a yellow crust and eventually rupture and weep fluid.
Caused by highly contagious ____ infections.

becomes red and swollen.

A

first-degree burns,

70
Q

___ burns involve injury to the epidermis and the superficial
part of the dermis. The skin is red, painful, and blistered. Because sufficient

74
Q

is the least malignant and most common skin cancer. Cells of the
stratum basale, altered so that they cannot form keratin, no longer
honor the boundary between epidermis and dermis.

Basal cell carcinoma

75
Q

The cancerous lesions occur most often on sun-exposed areas of the
face and often appear as shiny, dome-shaped nodules that later
develop a central ulcer with a “pearly” beaded edge

A

Basal cell carcinoma

76
Q

is relatively slowgrowing, and metastasis seldom
occurs before the lesion is noticed.

A

Basal cell carcinoma

77
Q

arises from the cells of the stratum spinosum. The lesions appear as scaly, reddened papules (small, rounded
swellings) that gradually form shallow ulcers with firm, raised borders.

A

squamous cell carcinoma

78
Q

This variety of skin cancer appears most
often on the scalp, ears, back of the hands,
and lower lip, but can appear anywhere on
the skin.

A

squamous cell carcinoma

79
Q

It grows rapidly and metastasizes to
adjacent lymph nodes if not removed.; also believed to
be induced by UV exposure

A

squamous cell carcinoma

80
Q

can begin wherever
there is pigment; most such
cancers appear spontaneously,
but some develop from
pigmented moles. It arises from
accumulated DNA damage in a
skin cell and usually appears as
a spreading brown to black
patch that metastasizes rapidly
to surrounding lymph and blood
vessels

A

Melanoma

81
Q

ABCDE Rule in Malignant Melanoma
DIAGNOSIS

A

Asymmetry
Border irregularity
Color
Diameter
Evolution

82
Q

During the fifth and sixth months of development, a fetus is covered with a
downy type of hair called ___

A

lanugo

Q

By the time the infant is born, it has usually shed this hairy cloak, and instead
its skin is covered with an oily coating called the ___

A

vernix caseosa

84
Q

Many men become bald as they age, a phenomenon called ___

A

male pattern
baldness

85
Q

A bald man does have hairs in the bald area. But, because those hair follicles
