Elastin
, Collagen
Keratin
Melanin
5. Describe the role of the epidermis in protecting the body.
The epidermis absorbs nutrients from the environment.
The epidermis acts as a barrier to protect underlying tissues from
environmental damage and pathogens.
The epidermis produces hormones for skin health.
The epidermis regulates body temperature through sweat production.
6. If a patient has a deep cut that heals with a noticeable scar, what factors
might influence the appearance and texture of that scar?
Factors such as the depth of the injury, the individual's healing
process, and the location of the scar can influence its appearance

to the body's response to the environment.
Sensory receptors in the skin detect changes in the environment,
such as temperature and pressure, and send signals to the brain.
Sensory receptors in the skin are responsible for the production of
new skin cells.
Sensory receptors in the skin help in the absorption of nutrients.
Sensory receptors in the skin primarily produce sweat to cool the
body.
13. If a patient presents with dry skin and decreased skin turgor, what condition
might this indicate?
Dehydration
Allergic reaction
Skin infection
Hyperhydration
