Melanin and carotene are two pigments that contribute to skin color. What is the third and where is it found? The third pigment contributing to skin color is hemoglobin, the pigment contained in red blood cells found in blood vessels of the dermis.

You have just gotten a paper cut. It is very painful, but it doesn't bleed. Has the cut penetrated into the dermis or just the epidermis?

You have just gotten a paper cut. It is very painful, but it doesn't bleed. Has the cut penetrated into the dermis or just the epidermis? Because there is no bleeding, the cut has penetrated into the avascular epidermis only.

Which tissue of the hypodermis makes it a good shock absorber?

Which tissue of the hypodermis makes it a good shock absorber? Fatty tissue in the hypodermis gives it insulating and shock-absorbing properties.

Which layer of the dermis responsible for producing fingerprint patterns?

Which layer of the dermis responsible for producing fingerprint patterns? The papillary layer of the dermis gives rise to fingerprint patterns.

Why are the desmosomes connecting the keratinocytes so important?

Why are the desmosomes connecting the keratinocytes so important? The skin is subjected to a lot of abrasion and physical trauma. The desmosomes, which are connecting junctions, help to hold the cells together during such stress.

The stratum basale is also called the stratum germinativum, a name that refers to its major function. What is that function?

The stratum basale is also called the stratum germinativum, a name that refers to its major function. What is that function? The stratum basale undergoes almost continuous mitosis to replace cells lost by abrasion.

While walking barefoot in a barn, Jeremy stepped on a rusty nail that penetrated the epidermis on the sole of his foot. Name the layers the nail pierced from the superficial skin surface to the junction with the dermis.

While walking barefoot in a barn, Jeremy stepped on a rusty nail that penetrated the epidermis on the sole of his foot. Name the layers the nail pierced from the superficial skin surface to the junction with the dermis. Answer: Since the sole of the foot has thick skin, the layers from most superficial to deepest would be the stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale.

Which layer of the skin--dermis or epidermis--is better nourished?

Which layer of the skin--dermis or epidermis--is better nourished? Answer: The dermis is connective tissue, which is vascular, so its cells would be better nourished than those of the epidermis, which is avascular epithelium.

What are the primary germ layers during embryonic development and what do they ultimately produce?

What are the primary germ layers during embryonic development and what do they ultimately produce? Answer: The ectoderm produces skin, the nervous system, and all tubes opening to the outside. The mesoderm produces muscles and connective tissue. The endoderm produces all internal organs.

How is blood unique among connective tissues?

What is a simple method of telling the difference between stratified squamous epithelium and transitional epithelium?

What is a simple method of telling the difference between stratified squamous epithelium and transitional epithelium? Answer: Stratified squamous epithelium changes cell shape from the basement membrane to the surface. At the basement membrane the cells tend to be columnar or cuboidal and flatten out as they work their way to the surface. Transitional epithelium has cells that are pretty much the same shape from the basement membrane to the surface. The surface cells are generally the largest cells. The cells change their shape according to the pressure applied.

How is epithelial tissue the opposite of connective tissue?

How is epithelial tissue the opposite of connective tissue? Answer: In epithelial tissue the cells are packed together very tightly. Epithelial tissue is avascular. Epithelial tissue has three cell types that cover or line things and make tubes. Epithelial tissue has no fibers and it tends to be polar. Connective tissue has cells spaced far apart and is highly vascular (except cartilage). The cells of connective tissue vary greatly in shape and size. Connective tissue glues other tissues together and has three fiber types. Connective tissue tends to be nonpolar. Connective tissue has a large amount of ground substance; epithelial tissue does not.

Tendon tears or breaks are difficult to repair both physiologically and surgically. Why?

Tendon tears or breaks are difficult to repair both physiologically and surgically. Why? Answer: Tendons are composed of dense regular connective tissue, which consists of densely packed, parallel connective tissue fibers. This type of tissue has relatively few cells and vascular supply is poor; consequently, repair is slow. Because of the structure of the tissue, surgical repair can be compared to attempting to suture two bristle brushes together.

Since mature adipocytes do not divide, how can adults gain weight?

Since mature adipocytes do not divide, how can adults gain weight? Answer: Adipocytes contain a fat-filled vacuole that can fill or empty, causing the cell to gain or lose volume.

How Can Information Reduce Risk When Making a Decision?

How Can Information Reduce Risk When Making a Decision? Information is one of the four major resources (along with material, human, and financial resources) managers have to operate a business. - it is information that helps managers reduce risk when making a decision. 1) Information and Risk - Relevant Information -> Better Intelligence and Knowledge -> Better Decisions (important because they can provide a competitive edge over competitors and improve a firm's profits) - when the amount of available information is high, there is less risk; when the amount of available information is low, there is more risk - information, when understood properly, produces knowledge and empowers managers and employees to make better decisions 2) Information Rules - if dealers lower their prices, they will sell more cars - information rule emerges when research confirms the same results each time that it studies the same or a similar set of circumstances - businesspeople tr
