Concept explainers
To determine:
Why third degree burns are usually painless. Skin develops from edges of these wounds. Second degree wounds are often very painful. Skin develops from the cells located at the burn edges, in hair follicles and in sweat glands and first degree burns are very painful but heal rapidly from undamaged epidermal cells. Using this concept draw the damage of first-, second- and third-degree burns.
Introduction:
Burns are described as painful wounds caused by thermal, chemical or electrical energy.
Thermal burns are caused by a heat source that raises the temperature if the skin leading to its death and charring. These sources include hot metals, steams, flames and hot liquids. Depending on the severity of the burn these are classified into three categories: first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree burns.

- You develop a callus on the bottom of your hallux from a pair of ill-fitting shoes, and you feel the pain of an Onychocryptosis on the same hallux. A treatment for Onychocryptosis is to remove the nail and apply a chemical such as phenol to the cells the nail matrix, which kills the cells. What effect will killing the cells of the nail matrix have on the nail? Is the answer below the correct answer to the question?arrow_forwardMatch the description with the appropriate layer (A-E) or cell (1-7): 1 A 2 3 D 4 7 Keratinocyte responsible for producing substances that make the skin both tough and waterproof [ Choose ] Type of cell that produces "cellular [ Choose ] sunscreen" in the form of a brownish pigment Layer of skin that is particularly [ Choose ] thick on the plantar surface of your feet Stratum spinosum [ Choose ] LO > > >arrow_forwardWhy does it makes sense that melanocytes are found in the outer layer Because melanocyte cells are too big to be located deeper in the body. Because the outer layer of skin is where all actively functioning skin cells are located. Because the melanocyte function is dependent on other cells found in the outer skin layer. Because all skin cells originate in the outer layer. Because melanocyte activity can be altered in response to the presence of sunlight.arrow_forward

That evening she complains of a great deal of pain and you notice that her skin is red and beginning to form large blisters. What type of burn has she suffered?

- What is the main cell type of subcutaneous tissue? Group of answer choices Adipocyte Basal cell Keratinocyte Macrophagearrow_forwardWhich feature is associated with the "maturation phase" of normal wound healing? The scar is firm and inelastic on palpation. Fibrin strands form a scaffold or framework. White blood cells migrate into the wound. Epithelial cells are grown over the granulation tissue bed.arrow_forwardKeratinocytes are the major cellular components of the epidermis. They are found in the four major epidermal strata: basale, spinosum, granulosum and corneum. Explain the characteristics of and the changes in the keratinocytes as they journey from the deepest to the most superficial epidermal strata.arrow_forward
