You develop a callus on the bottom of your hallux from a pair of ill-fitting shoes, and you feel the pain of an Onychocryptosis on the same hallux.
A treatment for Onychocryptosis is to remove the nail and apply a chemical such as phenol to the cells
the nail matrix, which kills the cells. What effect will killing the cells of the nail matrix have on the nail?
Is the answer below the correct answer to the question?
Which gland secrete sebum?
Analysis of a glandular secretion indicates that it contains some DNA, RNA, and membrane components such as phospholipids. What kind of secretion is this and why?

- Watch the film from time stamp 12:19 minutes to 13:32 minutes. Pause when Dr. Jablonski says, “That is what melanin does.” In this segment of the film, Dr. Jablonski references a paper she had read about the connection between UV exposure and the essential nutrient folate (a B vitamin), which circulates throughout the body in the blood. The paper, published in 1978, describes how the serum (blood) folate concentrations differed between two groups of light-skinned people. You will now look at one of the figures from that paper. Figure 3. Folate Levels in Two Groups of People. In one group (“patients”), 10 individuals were exposed to intense UV light for at least 30–60 minutes once or twice a week for three months. Sixty-four individuals not receiving this treatment (“normal”) served as the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p < 0.005).

(Check all that apply) A The epidermis forms from the ectodermal domain that is not exposed to BMP inhibitors. B The epidermal stem cell divides symmetrically and one of the daughter-cells goes on to differentiate into a keratinocyte. C) Epidermal cells move upward as they become more and more differentiated. D After the division of the basal cell, the daughter-cell that expresses Notch remains a stem cell. E The integrin-laminin interaction prevents the basal cell from differentiating. F The basal cell divides parallel to its apical-basal axis. G Cells found in the lower layers of the developing skin are more differentiated than the ones found in the upper layers. H p63 is a proliferation factor while Jagged is the true differentiation signal for keratinocytes. I Jagged is a proliferation signal while p63 is the true differentiation factor for keratinocytes. Epidermal signals like Fgf7, FGF10 and TGF-alpha promote the differentiation of the…arrow_forward
