Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The epidermis makes up the skin's thin, superficial outer layer. Below the epidermis lies a thicker layer, the dermis, which contains important structures of hair, glands, blood vessels, and nerves. The hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue, fatty layer) is not actually part of the skin, but because it cushions, supports, nourishes, and insulates the skin, it anchors skin to underlying tissues and organs.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A complicated mix of inquiry, knowledge, intuition, logic, experience, and common sense is called critical thinking. Trial and error problem-solving is an experimental approach that tests ideas to decide which methods work and which do not. Scientific problem-solving allows researchers to discover the best possible safe and effective treatments for disease or dysfunction. Problem-solving is the basic skill of identifying a problem and taking steps to resolve it.
