80% of skin cancers, caused by too much exposure before the age of 20, looks like a pimple, 99% cure rate

A

Basal Cell Carcinoma

23
Q

15% of skin cancer, too much sun exposure, can appear red and scaly, won’t heal and go away, 99% cure rate

A

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

24
Q

3-5% skin cancers, sun exposure and a genetic link, grows down through the basement membrane and can spread, deadly; survival depends on early detection

30
Q

Usually groups of melanocytes and genetics play a large role in location and number

A

Moles

31
Q

top part of epidermis is burned, painful, red, no blisters, 3-7 days for healing, cool compress and aloe vera for trearment

A

1st degree burns

32
Q

Burned epidermis and into the dermis, painful, red, blisters, pealing of damaged/dead skin days later, 7-10 days for healing, cool compress, aloe vera, and do not break blisters for treatment

A

2nd degree burns

33
Q

Burned entire thickness of the epidermis and dermis, no pain, whitish or gray color, skin slippage and oozing of fluid, months to one year depending on location and percentage of body burned, “rule of nines”

A

3rd degree burns

34
Q

2-3 layers of cube-shaped cells lining on openings of larger glands, several layers of cells provide greater protection, mammary glands, sweat glands, salivary glands and pancreas

A

Stratified Cuboidal Epithelium

35
Q

Consists of several layers of column like cells, not located in very many places in the body, vas deferens (male reproductive), parts of the pahrynx; junction of distal esophagus and cardiac sphincter
