    In this stratum of the epidermis, hemidesmosomes attach the cells of this layer to the basal lamina (basement membrane) that seperates the epidermis from the areolar tissue of the adjacent dermis.

    • Stratum Granulosum

    • Statum Germinativum

    • Stratum Lucidum

    • Statum Corneum

    Correct Answer
    A. Statum Germinativum
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Stratum Germinativum. In this layer of the epidermis, hemidesmosomes attach the cells to the basal lamina, which separates the epidermis from the dermis. The stratum germinativum is also known as the stratum basale and is responsible for the constant renewal of the epidermis through cell division. It is the deepest layer of the epidermis and contains stem cells that give rise to the other layers.

    • Stratum Germinativum, Stratum Ganulosum, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum

    Correct Answer
    A. Stratum Germinativum, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Ganulosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum
    Explanation
    The correct order of the strata (layers) of the epidermis is Stratum Germinativum, Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, Stratum Lucidum, and Stratum Corneum. The Stratum Germinativum is the innermost layer where new cells are produced. The Stratum Spinosum is the layer above it, followed by the Stratum Granulosum. The Stratum Lucidum is a translucent layer found only in thick skin, and the outermost layer is the Stratum Corneum, consisting of dead cells that provide protection to the skin.

    The hypodermis is made of which kind of connective tissue?

    • Loose

    • Dense irregular

    • Cartilage

    • Epithelial

    Correct Answer
    A. Loose
    Explanation
    The hypodermis is made of loose connective tissue. This type of connective tissue is characterized by a loose arrangement of cells and fibers, allowing for flexibility and movement. The hypodermis, also known as the subcutaneous tissue, is located beneath the dermis and serves as a layer of insulation and padding for the body. It also contains blood vessels and nerves that supply the skin.

    Rate this question:

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 16
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 16. This means that approximately 16% of a person's body weight is accounted for by their skin. The skin is the largest organ in the body and plays a crucial role in protecting the internal organs, regulating body temperature, and sensing touch, among other functions. While the exact percentage may vary slightly from person to person, 16% is a generally accepted estimate.
