Description

This listing is for a four-page exam about the integumentary system (of the skin) for a human anatomy and physiology course. This document could also serve as a summative unit study guide instead with the removal of the point valuations for each section. This exam features a myriad of assessment styles – fill in the blank, short answer, graphic organizer, tables, multiple-choice, compare/contrast, true/false, matching, and a Latin root word – English conversion section.

Subtopics covered include: pigments in relation to freckles/moles, albinos, and non-environmental skin color variation, cyanosis, blushing, looking ghostly, jaundice, malfunctioning adrenal gland, bruising, functions of skin, burn victims’ risk of dehydration, breaking down the body locations and functions of the four sweat glands, morphological breakdown of the layers of the skin, heat loss through convection, radiation, etc., classification of burns as partial or full thickness, physiological changes with aging, key proteins and their function in the integumentary system, oil (sebaceous) glands, contrasting the different types of glands, classification of cells and tissues that comprise the various layers of skin, disorders of the integumentary system, methods of heat conservation, accessory structures of the epidermis, various environmental factors that affect the skin, and English meanings of Latin root words.
