_________ is a fibrous protein that gives the skin high resistance to
breakage under mechanical stress.
A) Fibrin
B) Elastin
C) Collagen
D) Melanin Ans✓✓✓ C
When the ambient temperature is high:
A) the dermis produces less collagen, which temporarily decreases the
skin's ability to retain warmth.
B) blood vessels in the dermis dilate, which increases blood flow to the
skin and allows heat to dissipate.
C) sweat glands in the epidermis produce sweat, which is evaporated
from the skin surface by the air.

surface of the skin, where it is eliminated. Ans✓✓✓ B
Physical injury to the skin:
A) causes a decrease in the production of macrophages and
lymphocytes, thus increasing the risk of infection.
, B) commonly destroys the stratum corneum, the deep dermal layer of
the skin, and causes nerve damage.
C) promotes cutaneous vasoconstriction, which shunts blood away from
the injury and manifests as pallor around the injury site.
D) triggers mast cells to degranulate and synthesize special chemical
mediators, which causes the injured area to become warm and red.
Ans✓✓✓ D
The skin helps regulate body temperature through:
A) peripheral vasodilation, which shunts cool blood to the core of the
body.
B) the production of sweat, which is evaporated from the surface of the
skin.
C) increased elastin production, which provides insulation to the
epidermis.
D) cutaneous vasoconstriction, which brings warm blood to the skin's
surface. Ans✓✓✓ B
