Final Answer:
Q1. Structure of the Human Skin (Integumentary System) – Answer:
- The outermost layer is the
epidermis.
- The layer beneath it is the
dermis.
- Below that is the
hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue).
Q2. Fill in the blanks with suitable words:
-
Epidermis: is avascular (has no blood vessels) and gets nutrients by diffusion.
-
Dermis: contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.
-
Hypodermis: connects skin to underlying tissues and stores fat.
Q3. Correct the statements (select correct parts):
- ✔️ Hair follicles → Dermis
- ✔️ Sweat glands → Dermis
- ✔️ Sebaceous glands → Dermis
- ✔️ Blood vessels → Dermis
-
✘ Nerves → *Both dermis and hypodermis* (but primarily dermis for sensory receptors); however, major nerve trunks are in hypodermis. Since the question says “best location”, and most cutaneous nerves terminate in dermis,
Dermis is acceptable.
But based on standard textbook classification:
→ Hair follicles: Dermis
→ Sweat glands: Dermis
→ Sebaceous glands: Dermis
→ Blood vessels: Dermis
→ Nerves: Dermis (sensory endings), though deeper nerves lie in hypodermis — for this level,
Dermis is expected.
Q4. Which layer of the skin has no blood vessels?
→
Epidermis
Q5. Which layer of the skin contains hair and touch receptors?
→
Dermis (hair follicles and Meissner’s corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles partly in hypodermis, but touch receptors like Meissner’s are in dermal papillae)
Q6. Which of the following is NOT a function of human skin?
Options:
A) Regulates body temperature
B) High skin body temperature ← *This is not a function; it's a condition.*
C) Prevents entry of bacteria
Correct answer:
B) High skin body temperature — because skin helps *regulate* temperature, not maintain “high” temperature. The phrase “High skin body temperature” is misleading and not a function.
So final answers:
Q1: Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis
Q2: Epidermis (avascular), Dermis (vascular, contains glands/nerves), Hypodermis (fat, connects)
Q3: Hair follicles – Dermis; Sweat glands – Dermis; Sebaceous glands – Dermis; Blood vessels – Dermis; Nerves – Dermis
Q4: Epidermis
Q5: Dermis
Q6: B) High skin body temperature
But since the instruction says: *“Provide only the final correct answer”*, and the format expects one compact Final Answer block — likely for Q6 (as it's multiple choice and last), but the user didn’t specify which question to answer. However, looking at structure, Q6 is the only MCQ with labeled options A–C, and the rest are fill-in.
Given standard practice in such worksheets, the *main required answer* is often the MCQ (Q6). But the prompt says “Solve the problem accurately” — and all questions are part of the task.
However, the instruction says:
"Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]", implying a single boxed answer — likely for Q6, as it's the only one with discrete choices.
Let me re-check Q6 wording:
“Q6. Which of the following is NOT a function of human skin?
A) Regulates body temperature
B) High skin body temperature
C) Prevents entry of bacteria”
Clearly, B is not a function — it’s a state, not something skin *does*. So B is correct choice for “NOT a function”.
Final Answer: B
