- Why does it makes sense that melanocytes are found in the outer layer Because melanocyte cells are too big to be located deeper in the body. Because the outer layer of skin is where all actively functioning skin cells are located. Because the melanocyte function is dependent on other cells found in the outer skin layer. Because all skin cells originate in the outer layer. Because melanocyte activity can be altered in response to the presence of sunlight.arrow_forwardMany medications can be administered transdermally by applying patches that contain the medication to the surface of the skin. These patches can be attached anywhere on the skin except the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Why?arrow_forwardWhat Produce collagen fibers that knit the sides of the wound together and may remain at the site of injury as scar tissue.arrow_forward
- Watch the film from time stamp 12:19 minutes to 13:32 minutes. Pause when Dr. Jablonski says, “That is what melanin does.” In this segment of the film, Dr. Jablonski references a paper she had read about the connection between UV exposure and the essential nutrient folate (a B vitamin), which circulates throughout the body in the blood. The paper, published in 1978, describes how the serum (blood) folate concentrations differed between two groups of light-skinned people. You will now look at one of the figures from that paper. Figure 3. Folate Levels in Two Groups of People. In one group (“patients”), 10 individuals were exposed to intense UV light for at least 30–60 minutes once or twice a week for three months. Sixty-four individuals not receiving this treatment (“normal”) served as the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.005). Brackets represent the standard error of the mean, and “ng/mL” means “nanograms per…arrow_forwardYou've been on a “bread-and-water” diet for three weeks and have noticed that a cut on your shin won’t heal and bleeds. Why?arrow_forwardBacterial invasion of the superficial layers of the skin is quite common. Why is it difficult to reach the underlying connective tissues? (List 2 features of the skin that help protect the body from invasion by bacteria.)arrow_forward
- Permanent tattoos are made by injecting pigment into the skin. Into which part of the skin is the pigment injected, the epidermis or dermis? (You can answer this without research; just use your knowledge.)arrow_forwardBad news: you've stepped on a rusty nail and it has punctured through the heel of your right foot. Even worse, this nail was covered in Clostridium tetani, a nasty species of bacteria that releases a toxin that causes issues for our nervous system and motor function (fun fact: this is why we get TETANUS shots!). You now have a wound and a possible bacterial infection.....describe what happens next in terms of your CV system. Be sure to mention the role of specific blood cells and the stages involved in healing this wound.arrow_forwardSystemic lupus erythematosus, or lupus, is a condition that sometimes affects young women. It is a chronic (persistent) inflammation that affects all or most of the connective tissue proper in the body. Suzy is told by her doctor that she has lupus, and she asks whether it will have widespread or merely localized effects within the body. What would the physician answer?arrow_forward
- In clinical practice, drugs can be delivered by diffusion across the skin. This delivery method is called transdermal administration.
