Paper cuts are often very painful but don't always bleed. What two properties of the skin explain this combination?
A. the dermis is innervated, but the epidermis is not
B. the epidermis is innervated
C. the epidermis is avascular
D. paper cuts only go as deep as the reticular dermis
E. the epidermis and papillary dermis are avascular
Despite its apparent durability, the dermis is subject to tearing. How might a person know that the dermis has been previously stretched and/or torn?
a.The appearance of visible, silvery-white scars is an indication of stretching of the dermis.
b.The stretching causes the tension lines to disappear.
c.The blood vessels in the dermis rupture and the blood passes through the tissue, causing permanent "black-and-blue marks."
d.There is an episode of acute pain due to the large number of tactile corpuscles.
A callus may develop when both thin and thick skin are subjected to repeated pressure. Which layer of the epidermis develops the callus? a. stratum spinosum b. stratum corneum c. stratum basale d. stratum lucidum
