What is the outermost superficial stratum corneum
layer of the epidermis?
-The outermost layer of dead skin cells that sheds
daily and acts as an outer covering to the skin.
Which of the following can disrupt use of alkaline soaps
the acid mantle?
1. use of alkaline soaps -disruption of the acid mantle can occur due to
2. use of moisture barriers over washing of the skin, frequent used of alkaline
3. Use of moisturizers soaps, exposure to incontinence and perspiration,
4. use of PH-balanced skin cleansers and skin conditions.
,What is the function of melanin? UV radiation protection Melanin provides a
physical barrier to scatter UVR and acts as an
absorbent filter to decrease the amount of UVR
penetration
Other than the skin, what 2 organs Liver and Kidney
are part of the metabolic pathway
for the production of vitamin D?
-The skin contains a vit D precursor that is changed
to cholecalciferol by the sun's UV rays.
Cholecalciferol follows a metabolic pathway
through the liver where it is converted to calcidiol
which is then converted to active Vit D3 by the
kidneys
What term is used to describe to thermoregulation
temperature maintenance by the
body?
-The primary mechanisms for thermoregulation are
circulation and sweating.
What environmental element is UV rays
needed for the skin to produce Vit D
, How would you characterize the Not vascularized
vascularity of the epidermis?
-Made mostly of dead cells
What cells in the epidermis divides Melanocytes
into 2 daughter cells?
-One remains in the stratum germinativum and the
other moves to the surface of the epidermis, which
takes about 28 days
What protein is responsible for Keratin
making the epidermis tough?
-A fibrous protein that makes the epidermis tough
What layers of the skin is affected basement membrane zone (BMZ)
when blisters form?
1. basement membrane zone -The BMZ is the layer affected when a blister forms
2. dermis as the epidermis and dermis separate from
3. epidermis shearing or friction, allowing fluid to collect
4. sub q between the two layers.
How would you characterize the highly vascularized
vascularity of the dermis?
-The dermis is made of thick, dense, fibroelastic
connective tissue and is highly vascularized
