Mucosal epithelial
15-When does a cancer go from benign to malignant?
Group of answer choices
When the cancer cells are near a blood vessel
When the cancer cells are able to spread to other tissues
When the prognosis is very poor
When the tumor becomes larger than 1 inch
When it occurs in a person under 40 years of age
16-Which list is in the correct order from superficial to deep?
(s. = stratum)
Group of answer choices
s. lucidum, s. spinosum, basement membrane, reticular layer
s. spinosum, s. basale, hypodermis, reticular layer
s. corneum, s. granulosum, papillary layer, basement membrane
s. granulosum, s. lucidum, papillary layer, hypodermis
17-Which of the following regarding dermal papillae is TRUE?
Group of answer choices
The reticular dermis lies deep to the dermal papillae.
The papillae make up the thickest part of the dermis.
Blood can be found in the dermal papillae only when the temperature of the body is
below normal.
Dermal papillae help to increase traction and hold the hypodermis to the dermis
18-Which of the following cell types is most likely deepest (least superficial) in the
body?
Group of answer choices
Keratinocyte
Melanocyte
Fibroblast
Chondrocyte
19-Which of the following regarding vitamin D is TRUE?
Group of answer choices
The active form of Vitamin D can be obtained by oral supplementation.
Vitamin D is a water soluble nutrient.
As skin color gets darker in a population, the likelihood of vitamin D deficiency would
probably decrease.
Vitamin D is metabolized by the skin while we sleep.
20-If a young man burns his entire right arm & leg, with painful blisters, what is TRUE?
Group of answer choices
The burn has not reached the hypodermis.
He has a second degree burn.
27% of his body is burned.
All of these options are true.
21-Which of the following regarding skin cancer is FALSE?
Group of answer choices
The greatest risk factor for developing skin cancer is exposure to UV radiation.
Melanoma is less prevalent/common but more malignant that squamous cell carcinoma.
As skin color gets lighter in a population, the likelihood of skin cancer would probably
increase.
Cells in the stratum corneum are more likely to become cancerous because they are
closer to the sun.
22-Place the following in order from simple/small to complex/large:
