'Suntans and Sun bites A Case Study in the Integumentary System By WH slump and AW Wright A Painful Winter crumble On the first day afterwards arriving in Australia for Christmas vacation, a University of Niagara pupil plays aside in the sun for six hours. later that night he notices that the shin on his trunk, legs and blazonry becomes red, swollen and extremely painful. By morning all of the afflicted aras obligate developed numerous blisters. These areas cover about(predicate) 30% of the trunk (front and back) and 40% of the arms and legs.\r\n1. What organ has been monetary valued? ·The Integuemtary System ( shin) has been damaged.\r\n2.

What type of burn has the student accredited? Explain. ·He has received burns in the 2nd degree which are accompanied by blisters and pain.\r\n4. What type of radiation has caused the burn? ·Ultraviloet radition (UVA) specifically UBA and UBV.\r\n\r\n5. List all the layers of the skin that have been damaged? ·Epidermis: class corneum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. ·corium (upper region): papillary layer . List ALL layers that have been killed? ·None of the layers have been killed, scarcely damaged in the second degree.\r\n7.

What component of the total body surface has been ruin? Show your calculations! ·(36% x 30%)= 11% ·(36% x 40%)= 14% ·(18% x 40%)= 7% ·(11% + 14% + 7%)= 32%; #2% of the body’s surface has been ruin.\r\n10. Is the burn critical?

When skin is exposed to UV rays, cells called melaoncytes produce brown pigment melanin, which darkens skin the cells of the epidermis. The darkening of the skin cells is the skin inwrought defense mechanism against further damage for UV radiation. Unrepaired damage analogous so can lead to an increase risk of developing skin pubic louse and other skin problems like photoaging-wrinkles, flag skin, an d sun spots.\r\n'
