This layer of the skin is composed of stratified squamous epithelium.
What is the epidermis?
100
These structures help warm the body when it becomes too cold.
What are arrector pili muscles?
100
This membrane type is considered “dry”.
What is cutaneous?
100
This structure covers the outer surface of the heart.
What is the pericardium?
100
The hypodermis is mostly composed of this type of tissue.
What is adipose tissue?
200
This layer of the skin is mostly composed of dense connective tissue.
What is the dermis?
200
Fingernails are composed of lots of this substance.
What is keratin?
200
This type of membrane lines cavities that open up to the outside of the body.
What is mucous?
200
This “percent” of the body would be considered burned if the following structures had been affected: entire left arm and entire left leg.
What is 27%?

This vitamin is produced by the skin due to exposure to the sun.
What is vitamin D?
300
This layer of the epidermis is only found on the hands and feet.
What is the stratum lucidum?
300
Your body will tan as a result of exposure to the sun’s UV light. This substance is responsible for the change in skin color.
What is melanin?
300
This membrane type is found in the joints and is not made of epithelial cells.
What is synovial?
300
This skin cancer type is associated with the melanocytes within the epidermis.
What is malignant melanoma?
300
This structure lines the walls of the thoracic cavity.
What is the parietal pleura?

This layer of the epidermis is the location of melanocytes in the skin.
What is the stratum basale?

These structures release sweat directly into hair follicles.
What are apocrine sweat glands?

What is serous?

When affected by multiple third degree burns, this would be the first major problem with the body.

This is the correct order and description of how to detect skin malignancies in a mole.
What is: Asymmetrical – mole does not have mirror image Border Irregularity – uneven lines surrounding a mole Color – multiple pigments in a mole Diameter – greater than 6 mm

These structures are responsible for secreting “slick”, bacteria killing substances onto the surface of the skin.
What are sebaceous (oil) glands?
500
This membrane type is specially adapted for both absorption and secretion.
What is mucous?
500
A major accident happens and the epidermis and dermis are severely damaged on your back. The resulting tissue that grows back is mostly dense connective tissue. What was the fate of any Meissner’s corpuscles in the affected area?
What is they cannot regenerate because nervous structures are unable to do so?
500
Acne is a skin disorder that arises from problems with this structure.
