97. Massage is purposeful touch. The skin is a major organ influenced by massage and a
major area for assessment. By observing and palpating the skin, it is possible to get an
impression of the general adaptive strain on homeostatic mechanisms. Why?a. The skill cells hypertrophy and then atrophy with adaptive strain.
b. The epithelial tissues reproduce quickly and stress can be observed in how effective
the tissues replace themselves.c. The integument is involved in active transport of cytoplasm, which increases the ten-
dency of the skin to become red, damp, and exhibit goose flesh, all indicators of po-
tential adaptive strain.d. The surface of the skin consists of apical and basal cells, which are responsible for
wound healing. If wound healing is slow, then adaptive response is strained.
