Clinical Scenario: The Skin and Burns

Kim enjoys baking cookies for the holidays. She often makes dozens of cookies with her mother and they both enjoy the time together and, of course, the delicious cookies! One afternoon during their annual cookie bake as Kim talks to her mother about her anatomy and physiology class, the timer went off and her mother distractedly grabbed the cookies from the oven. She quickly dropped them when the hot cookie sheet burned her hand through an unnoticed hole in her oven mitt. “Ouch!” she exclaimed and quickly ran her hand under cool water from the sink. When Kim looked at her mother’s hand she noticed several small blisters forming on two fingers.

Part A

The superficial layer of the skin is the epidermis. It is organized into layers (otherwise known as strata). Thick skin contains five layers while thin skin contains four. Drag and drop the correct layer of the epidermis with its location in the picture.

· First-degree (superficial burn)

· Second-degree (partial thickness burn)

· Third-degree (full thickness burn)

· : Often causes pain and blistering of the skin.

· : Often little pain is felt due to destruction of nerves and underlying tissue.

Part E

In this case, Kim’s mother’s burn formed blisters. These blisters are often closed and fluid filled. Recall that a first-degree burn is characterized by redness, not blisters. Why do you think a first-degree burn does not blister?

ANSWER:

In this case, Kim’s mother’s burn formed blisters. These blisters are often closed and fluid filled. Recall that a first-degree burn is characterized by redness, not blisters. Why do you think a first-degree burn does not blister?

A first-degree burn destroys blood vessels so no fluids are lost.

A first-degree burn damages the dermis but is avascular so fluids are not lost from the blood.

A first-degree burn only affects the epidermal layer and does not penetrate to the dermis.

Part F

A third-degree burn is a very severe burn. It can cause additional complications in the body. Choose all possible concerns that may occur due to a third-degree burn.

Why are "henna tattoos" of the epidermis not permanent like other tattoos?

ANSWER:

Why are "henna tattoos" of the epidermis not permanent like other tattoos?

Regular tattoos inject their ink into the mitotic epidermal cells making the dye permanent.

The epidermis is continually renewing its keratinocytes of sloughing off the old cells.

The epidermis's dendritic cells phagocytize/remove the henna stain.

The henna stain is water soluble and excreted with sweat as a byproduct.
