1. True or False: One of the skin’s functions is to produce vitamin D
To determine the answer, we need to understand the function of the skin. The skin does indeed play a role in the synthesis of vitamin D. When exposed to sunlight, a chemical reaction in the skin converts a precursor molecule into vitamin D. This vitamin is important for various bodily functions, such as bone health. Therefore, the statement is:
True
2. Your _____ is the largest organ of your body.
To find the answer, we need to identify the largest organ in the body. The options given are the brain, large intestine, skin, and lungs. Among these options, the skin is the largest organ of the body. Therefore, the answer is:
Skin
3. The _____ is the outer, thinnest layer of your skin.
To determine the answer, we need to identify the outermost and thinnest layer of the skin. The options given are the fatty layer, epidermis, hair, and dermis. Among these options, the epidermis is the outermost and thinnest layer of the skin. Therefore, the answer is:
Epidermis
4. Which of the following is not found in the dermis?
To identify what is not present in the dermis layer of the skin, we need to examine the options. The options given are blood vessels, oil and sweat glands, nerves, and bones. Among these options, bones are not found in the dermis. Therefore, the answer is:
Bones
5. One of the purposes of sweat glands is to release waste products, such as water and _____.
To determine the waste product released by sweat glands, we need to understand their function. Sweat glands help regulate body temperature, and as part of this process, they release waste products. Among the options provided (sugar, blood, dirt, salt), salt is the waste product typically expelled through sweat glands. Therefore, the answer is:
Salt
6. You can feel the prick of a pin because specialized nerve cells in the skin rely information to your _____.
To identify where the specialized nerve cells in the skin relay information, we need to examine the options. The options given are finger, spinal cord, pin, and brain. When you feel the prick of a pin, the specialized nerve cells in the skin transmit the sensory information to your brain, where the sensation is processed and interpreted. Therefore, the answer is:
Brain
7. True or False: Thousands of cells rub off your epidermis every time you take a shower.
To determine the accuracy of the statement, we need to evaluate what happens to the cells of the epidermis during a shower. When you take a shower, some cells of the epidermis may slough off due to the friction of washing, but it is unlikely that thousands of cells are rubbed off every time. Therefore, the statement is most likely:
False
8. True or False: The more melanin that is present in the skin, the lighter the skin color is.
To determine the relationship between melanin and skin color, we need to evaluate the statement. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin coloration. The more melanin present in the skin, the darker the skin color tends to be. Therefore, the statement is:
False
