MILADY PHYSIOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY OF
THE SKIN EXAM (ACTUAL EXAM) WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
Melanocytes - ANSWERS-Cells that produce pigment
granules in the basal layer
Melanocytes - ANSWERS-5% to 10% of the basal cells
Melanosomes - ANSWERS-Pigment carrying granules and
produce melanin
Melanin - ANSWERS-Complex protein that gives color,
determines skin, eyes and hair color
Melanin - ANSWERS-Pigment that protects us from the sun;
damage to DNA triggers melanocyte stimulating hormones
to produce melanin
,One melanocyte will - ANSWERS-Deposit melanosomes to
30 keratinocytes
Melanin production is - ANSWERS-Stimulated by exposure
to sunlight and protect cells below by absorbing and
blocking UV radiation
Tyrosinase - ANSWERS-Is the enzyme that stimulates
melanocytes and thus produces melanin
Every person has - ANSWERS-Approximately the same
number of melanocytes, differences in genetic skin color are
due to the amount of melanin activated in the skin and the
way it is distributed
Body produces two types of melanin - ANSWERS-
Pheomelanin and Eumelanin
Regulates and protects the body - ANSWERS-Skin layers,
nerves, cellular functions, hair follicles and glands
, Controls the skins intricate functions - ANSWERS-
Hormones,growth factors and other biochemicals
Proteins - ANSWERS-The basic material and a building
blocks for our bodies tissues
Proteins - ANSWERS-Made up of amino acids
Proteins - ANSWERS-Foundation of our cells and skin
Amino acids - ANSWERS-Form peptides (part of a protein)
and proteins
Peptide bonds - ANSWERS-Hold amino acids together
Polypeptides - ANSWERS-Chains of amino acids
Appendages of the skin - ANSWERS-Include hair, nails,
sweat glands and oil glands
Healthy skin - ANSWERS-Is slightly moist soft, smooth and
somewhat acidic
