Which structure of the skin provides A
the body with photoprotective
properties by absorbing harmful
UV light? (2)
A. Melanin
B. Langerhans cells
C. Odland bodies
D. Stratum lucidum
What is a unique function of the B - reproductive layer of the dermis
layer of the epidermis known as the characterized by proliferating keratinocytes
stratum basale? (2)
A. Providing immunity via
Langerhans Cells
B. Producing new epithelial cells
C. Releasing lipids to hep maintain
normal brick and mortar skin
configuration
D. Protecting the palms of the
hands and soles of the feet
,Which cells located in the dermis D
produce collagen and elastin
critical to immune function and
healing? (2)
A. Leukotrienes
B. Prostaglandins
C. Macrophages

WCN expect to heal by scar
formation? (2)
A. A head wound extending
beyond the hair follicles

accurately describes how the skin
functions as a barrier between the
internal and external environments?

normally maintaining skin water
content at 20% or higher
B. When the barrier function of the
skin is compromised,
transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
decreases
C. Protection against pathogenic
invasion is supported by an acidic
pH of the skin
D. Merkel receptors embedded in
