Question

How do you think the cyst shown in this model affects the homeostasis in this area of the skin? Consider how it could affect the different structures, nerve endings, and skin layers.

Answer 1

This large cyst may press up against different nerve endings, causing pain or numbness. If a clogged gland causes it, that gland may not be able to release oil or sweat onto the skin, which is important for regulating temperature and keeping the skin waterproof.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

couldn't see a model of the cyst, but most cysts are filled with sebaceous fluid, dead skin cells, superficial dirt and lipids, some can be very painful to the touch. If it is infected, it's appearance is red and sits on the epidermis layer where nerve endings can be found. your body will trigger WBC's to that area to fight infection. A dermatologist will prescribe an antibacterial topical solution in addition to an oral antibiotic. homeostasis in that area of skin is disrupted causing pain, swelling, and possible growth, making these symptoms worse. once on antibiotics, your dr. will excise the cyst relieving its contents, pressure, and pain.
