Chapter 13 Integumentary Function
1. The basal lamina, between the epidermis and dermis, is involved in skin
disorders that cause:
A) blister formation.
B) conical projections.
C) prickle cell lesions.
D) hyperpigmentation.
2. Cells that form a network to bind and process antigens in the epidermis are
known as:
A) Merkel cells.
B) reticular dermis.
C) Langerhans cells.
D) dermal dendrocytes.
, 3. The pilosebaceous unit of the skin consists of:
A) eccrine secretions.
B) sebaceous glands.
C) keratinized plates.
D) connective tissues.
4. The are the skin structures that become inflamed in acne.
A) follicular bulbs
B) dermal papillae
C) apocrine glands
D) sebaceous glands
5. Unlike hair, nails grow:
A) strata.
B) outward.
C) cyclically.
D) continuously.
6. Lichenification is caused by:
A) epidermal breakage.
B) repeated scratching.
C) chronic area pressure.
D) decreased skin shedding.
7. In addition to keratinocytes, the epidermis has cells that protect
against damage from ultraviolet radiation.
A) melanocyte
B) Langerhans
C) subcutaneous
