r r r
b.) Apocrine glands.
r r
c.) Disorder of the stratum corneum.
r r r r r
d.) Disorder of the stratum germinativum. - CORRECT ANSWER A--The eccrine glands are
r r r r r r r r r r r r
coiled tubules that directly open onto the skin surface andproduce a dilute saline solution
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
r called sweat. Apocrine glands are primarily located in the axillae, anogenital area, nipples,
r r r r r r r r r r r r
r and naval area and mix with bacterial flora to produce the characteristic musky body odor.
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r

r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
possibility of fluidloss because of which of these factors?

b.) Sebaceous glands are over productive in the newborn.
r r r r r r r r
c.) The newborns skin is more permeable than that of the adult.
r r r r r r r r r r r
d.) The amount of vernix caseosa dramatically rises in the newborn. - CORRECT ANSWER C-
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
-The newborns skin is thin, smooth, and elastic and isrelatively more permeable than that of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
the adult; consequently, the infant isat greater
r r r r r r r r
,risk for fluidloss. Thesubcutaneous layer inthe infant is inefficient, notthick, and the

r sebaceous glands are present but decrease in size and production. Vernix caseosa is not
r r r r r r r r r r r r r
produced after birth.

r r r r r
b.) Increased numbers of sweat and sebaceous glands
r r r r r r r
c.) An increase in elastin and a decrease in subcutaneous fat
r r r r r r r r r r
d.) An increased loss of elastin and a decrease in subcutaneous fat - CORRECTANSWER D--An

accumulation of factors place the aging person at risk for skindisease and breakdown: the

thinning of the skin, a decrease in vascularity andnutrients, the loss of protective cushioning
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
r of the subcutaneous layer, a lifetime of environmental trauma to skin, the social changes of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r
r aging, a increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and the chance of immobility.
