How does genetics influence pathophysiological alterations in healing, immunologic responses, and the integumentary system?
Ans) The integumentary system reflects numerous changes from
genetic and environmental factors
- The skin becomes thinner (producing translucent, paper thin
quality & more susceptible to tearing)
Drier, wrinkled (loss of elastin)
Demonstrates a change in pigmentation (fewer melanocytes) with
decreased protection from UV radiation (Changes in hair
color)
- Decrease in DNA repair of damaged skin
- More permeable & less able to clear substances causing
irritation
- Loss of flexibility of collagen fibers (cannot stretch &
regain shape as readily)
- Increased risk of injury & infection related to reduced
barrier function
- Fewer melanocytes and Langerhans cells reducing immune
response
- Wound healing decreases related to decreased blood flow &
slower basal cell turnover
- Atrophy of the sebaceous, eccrine, and apocrine glands causing
dry skin
- Fewer hair follicles and growth of thinner hair
- Pressure, touch, receptors & free nerve endings decrease in
number causing reduced sensory perception
- Compromised temperature regulation, loss of cutaneous vasomotion,
& decreased eccrine sweat production = increased risk of heat
stroke /hypothermia

How does the influence of our genes and brain function change the way we think about crime and punishment? If genetic factors are responsible for people committing crime, should we adjust responses from the criminal justice system on the basis of individual genetics? For example, should people with genes that predispose them to violence receive different sentences if they engage in crime? Alternatively, should genetic information be used to pre-emptively identify potential killers or other predisposed to violence? Is it...
