Insensible perspiration takes place in the

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, stratum corneum. Insensible perspiration involves the constant evaporation of water through the skin to maintain body temperature. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis, consisting of dead cells that are continuously shed and replaced. This layer provides a barrier function and regulates the loss of water from the body. The other choices (A: stratum granulosum, B: stratum basale, C: stratum spinosum) are not involved in insensible perspiration as they are deeper layers of the epidermis responsible for cell division, keratin production, and structural support.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: fissure. A fissure is a groove or crack-like break in the skin. The term accurately describes the characteristic mentioned in the question. Exudate (A) refers to fluid discharge, hidrosis (B) refers to sweating, and heparin (D) is a medication used as a blood thinner. These choices are unrelated to the description of a groove or crack-like break in the skin, making them incorrect in this context.
