Question 1 of 5
Dandruff is a disorder that results in dry skin flakes forming in the scalp. A common cause of dandruff could be
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Step-by-step rationale: 1. Dandruff is caused by excessive shedding of dead skin cells on the scalp. 2. Inflammation around sebaceous glands can lead to increased production of sebum, which can contribute to dandruff. 3. Sebaceous glands produce oil that can mix with dead skin cells and lead to flaking. 4. Inactive apocrine sweat glands, inactive merocrine sweat glands, and overactive arrector pili muscles are not directly related to the production of skin flakes on the scalp. Summary: - Choice A is correct as inflammation around sebaceous glands can lead to increased sebum production, contributing to dandruff. - Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not directly associated with the production of dry skin flakes on the scalp.
Question 2 of 5
________ sweat glands are widely distributed across the body surface, ________ glands are located wherever hair follicles exist, and ________ sweat glands are found only in a few areas.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Merocrine; sebaceous; apocrine. 1. Merocrine sweat glands are widely distributed across the body surface, responsible for regulating body temperature through evaporation. 2. Sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles, producing sebum to lubricate and protect the skin. 3. Apocrine sweat glands are found in specific areas like the armpits and groin, secreting a thicker sweat that can cause body odor. In summary, choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the distribution and functions of the different types of sweat glands as outlined in the question.

It also regulates body temperature and houses sensory receptors. Nevus (B) is a mole, not a protective covering. Polyp (C) is a growth in the body, not a protective covering. Bulla (D) is a large fluid-filled blister, not the protective outer covering of the body.
