Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Degeneration of an organ system is called as senescence. Degeneration occurs after the age of highest functional efficiency, such as reduced ability to repair damage, increased susceptibility to disease, gradual loss of reserve capacities, and compensation for stress. Unrepaired damage of the DNA is a leading theory of senescence. Generally, in a mammalian cell, the DNA undergoes a predictable 10,000 to 100,000 damaging events per day. Particularly, the oxidative stress from free radicals produced by the cell’s own

Which of the following is a true statement? (Check all that apply)
A The epidermis forms from the ectodermal domain that is not exposed to BMP inhibitors.
B The epidermal stem cell divides symmetrically and one of the daughter-cells goes on to differentiate into a keratinocyte.
C) Epidermal cells move upward as they become more and more differentiated.
D After the division of the basal cell, the daughter-cell that expresses Notch remains a stem cell.
E The integrin-laminin interaction prevents the basal cell from differentiating.
F The basal cell divides parallel to its apical-basal axis.
G Cells found in the lower layers of the developing skin are more differentiated than the ones found in the upper layers.
H p63 is a proliferation factor while Jagged is the true differentiation signal for keratinocytes.
I Jagged is a proliferation signal while p63 is the true differentiation factor for keratinocytes.
Epidermal signals like Fgf7, FGF10 and TGF-alpha promote the differentiation of the…
Which statement about transdermal drugs is true?
a. For maximum effectiveness, the skin should not be cleansed with soap once it has been exposed to a transdermal drug.
b. Transdermal drugs are preferred because they exert only a local effect.
c. For maximum effectiveness, transdermal patches should be reapplied to the same location when reapplied.
d. Transdermal drugs provide more consistent blood levels than oral and injection forms.
