Lab 4 Review #1

What structure of the skin is highlighted?

• papillary layer of dermis

• reticular layer of dermis

• epidermis

• hypodermis

Which structure of the dermis is highlighted?

• duct of merocrine sweat gland

• apocrine sweat gland

• merocrine sweat gland

• sebaceous gland

The thickest layer of the cell is depicted above, what is this layer called?

• stratum corneum

• stratum lucidum

• stratum granulosum

• stratum basale

Is the dermal layer of the skin vascularized? What about the epidermal layer?

• Epidermis: avascular

  Dermis: vascular

• Epidermis: vascular

  Dermis: avascular

• Epidermis: avascular

  Dermis: avascular

• Epidermis: vascular

  Dermis: vascular

What is the most common cell type found in the epidermis?

• adipocyte

• melanocyte

• keratinocyte

• leukocyte

This layer of the integumentary system is also known as the subcutaneous layer:

• nervous layer

• dermis

• epidermis

• hypodermis

This epidermal layer is composed of approximately 30 layers of dead cells and is the most superficial:

• stratum lucidum

• stratum corneum

• stratum basale

• stratum granulosum

This layer of the epidermis is considered mitotically active and a site for new cells:

• stratum corneum

• stratum granulosum

• stratum spinosum

• stratum basale

The hypodermis is composed primarily of these two tissue types:

• areolar, elastic

• adipose, reticular

• adipose, areolar

• adipose, elastic

Due to its high adipose composition, the hypodermis can serve as these two things...

• an insulator and shock abosorber

• an insulator and hormone producer

• a shock absorber and dry layer

• a shock absorber and red blood cell producer
