1. The superfiscial layer of skin is called the ___________.

Explanation

The correct answer is Epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, serving as a protective barrier against external factors such as bacteria and UV radiation. It is composed of several layers of cells, including keratinocytes which produce the protein keratin that gives the skin its strength and waterproof properties. The epidermis also contains melanocytes, which produce the pigment melanin responsible for skin color.

Massage Review Intergumentary System - Quiz

This quiz covers the structure of the epidermis within the integumentary system, focusing on its layers, cell types, and functions in skin protection.

2. _______ ARE EPIDERMAL CELLS WITH MELANIN TO PROTECT THE SKIN FROM ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT.

Explanation

Melanocytes are specialized cells in the epidermis that produce and distribute melanin, a pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) light. When the skin is exposed to UV radiation, melanocytes produce more melanin, causing the skin to darken or tan. This increased melanin production helps to absorb and scatter the UV rays, preventing them from damaging the DNA in skin cells and reducing the risk of sunburn and skin cancer.
