Which of the following functions performed by the skin would be lost or seriously compromised if one suffered from severe burns over most of the body? so let's take a look at the answer choices.
00:21
So one is going to be absorption of oxygen and nutrients.
00:27
So that is not going to be correct.
00:30
I'm just going to label these as abcd.
00:33
This isn't going to be correct because oxygen is absorbed from the lungs and the blood and then nutrients are absorbed by the blood in the small intestines.
00:52
Okay, so next we have prevention of massive and continuous infections from bacteria, viruses, other particles.
01:04
So this is going to be correct.
01:07
So infections are usually stopped by the skin.
01:10
If it is compromised, it's going to be an issue.
01:13
You.
01:13
Taking a look at the other ones, reception of sensory information, light and sound waves, so that's going to be ears, eyes, and the nerves leading to the brain.
01:30
So that's not really it either.
01:32
And then no ill effects at all.
01:35
That's not true...
