Due to a frying incident a man is covered in multiple levels of burns and…

- - - - Stratum granulosum
        
        A layer of rectangular cells that become increasingly flattened as they move to the surface of the epidermis.
      - Stratum spinosum
        
        A layer of polyhedral-shaped cells that flatten as they get closer to the stratum granulosum.
      - Stratum lucidum
        
        A thin, flattened layer of dead cells. Not visible in thin skin.
      - Stratum basale
        
        The innermost layer of elongated column-shaped cells. It consists of basal cells that produce new skin cells.
      - Stratum corneum
        
        The top layer of dead, extremely flat cells. Cell nuclei are not visible.
  - - - involve the epidermis and part of the lower layer of skin, the dermis
        
        he burn site looks red, blistered, and may be swollen and painful
    - - destroies the epidermis and dermis
        
        may look white or blackened and charred.
    - - affect only the outer layer of skin, the epidermis
        
        The burn site is red, painful, dry, and with no blisters.
        
        Long-term tissue damage is rare and often consists of an increase or decrease in the skin color.
    - - involves injury to deeper tissues, such as muscle, tendons, or bone.
        
        often black and frequently leads to loss of the burned part
        
        There is no feeling in the area since the nerve endings are destroyed.
    - - result in all the skin and most of the muscle layer and ligaments in the area burned away
        
        It is not uncommon to see charred bone in a fifth-degree burn
  - - - You can estimate the body surface area on an adult that has been burned by using multiples of 9.
    - - Right arm
      - Left arm
      - Head
      - Chest
      - Abdomen
      - Upper back
      - Lower back
      - Right thigh
      - Left thigh
      - Right leg; below the knee
      - Left leg; below the knee
  - - - Even superficial burns can be critical if they affect a large area or certain body parts.
  - - - Sebaceous (oil) glands
        
        Secrete oil that helps waterproof the skin and protect against microbe build-up
        
        These glands are attached to hair follicles.
      - Hair follicles
        
        Tube-shaped cavities that enclose the hair root and provide nourishment to the hair
      - Sweat glands
        
        Regulate body temperature by transporting water to the skin's surface where it can evaporate to cool down the skin.
      - Sensory receptors
        
        Nerve endings that transmit sensations such as touch, pain, and heat intensity to the brain.
      - Lymph vessels
        
        Supply lymph to skin tissue to fight microbes.
      - Collagen
        
        Generated from dermal fibroblasts, this tough structural protein holds muscles and organs in place and gives strength and form to body tissues.
      - Blood vessels
        
        Transport oxygen and nutrients to the skin and remove waste products
        
        These vessels also transport vitamin D from the skin to the body.
      - Elastin
        
        Generated from dermal fibroblasts, this rubbery protein provides elasticity and helps make the skin stretchable.
        
        It is also found in ligaments, organs, muscles, and artery walls.
  - - - The hypodermis also connects the skin to underlying tissues through collagen, elastin, and reticular fibers that extend from the dermis.
      - adipose tissue that stores excess energy as fat.
        
        consists primarily of cells called adipocytes that are capable of storing fat droplets
      - Adipocytes swell when fat is being stored and shrink when fat is being used.
        
        The storage of fat helps insulate the body and the burning of fat helps generate heat
        
        Areas of the body in which the hypodermis is thick include the buttocks, palms, and soles of the feet
    - - Mast cells protect the body against pathogens, heal wounds, and aid in blood vessel formation.
- - - - This is most likely a first-degree burn
        
        some concern for infection due to the epidermis being destroyed
        
        No real concern for water balance and temperature regulation
  - - - These are most likely be second-degree burns
        
        Has concern for infection,temperature regulation, and water balance due to the dermis being destroyed
  - - - These are most likely to be third-degree burns
        
        This level of burn is serious and justifies the concern for infection,water balance and temperature regulation due to the epidermis and dermis
