Pavel is recovering from a third-degreeburn on his forearm and elbow. The healthcare professional is explaining to Pavel what he can expect since the injury is extensive. It is most likely that Pavel's tissues will: a. undergo tightening scarring that impairs movement. b. recover fully with minimal scarring. c. form a scar larger than the boundaries of the wound. d. develop into a raised, red scar.

First, second, and third degree" is one way to classify the severity of burns. "Partial and full thickness" is another. Relate "partial thickness" and "full thickness" to the structure of the skin and to the classification scheme of first, second, and third degree. Be specific about the integumentary structures/layers that are affected in each. 2. Why do second and third degree burns lead to prominent scars? Be specific about the cellular processes that lead to scar tissue development. Be sure to refer to the layers of skin and cells that are involved in this process and how this differs from repair seen in less invasive injuries. 3. What accessory organs of the integumentary system were affected in this case study? What are the ongoing deficits that this patient might experience as a result of this damage? 4. The integumentary system is highly affected in this case, but what other organ systems are affected as a result of these injuries? Be specific.....

Matt will be more prone to infections. D. The sebaceous glands will stop moisturizing the skin. E. The skin loses its elasticity.
