Post by: saranyaallu on Apr 18, 2019
The Peachtree Road Race is over, and you have just been awarded the coveted T-shirt. Your body is dripping wet and your skin appears bright red. Explain, from a physiological perspective, what is happening to your body.

2. Tattooing is the risky and unregulated procedure of using a needle to deposit pigment in the skin. Where in the skin would it be necessary to deposit the pigment to make the tattoo permanent? The three most common forms of skin cancer are (1) basal cell carcinoma, (2) squamous cell carcinoma, and (3) malignant melanoma, the most dangerous skin cancer. Using your knowledge of skin histology, predict the skin layers and/or cells that are involved in each of these cancers.

3. Give examples of structures supported by bone and by cartilage observed in this lab topic. What differences in flexibility and function have you noticed in these structures?

To make the tattoo permanent, it should be deposited in the dermis with the use of a needle.
