Question

A blister forms at the junction of the
A) dermis and epidermis
B) stratum corneum and stratum germinativum
C) dermis and the subcutaneous tissue
D) both A and C

Accepted Answer

This is the location where a blister forms. A blister is a raised area of skin filled with fluid that is caused by damage to the junction between the dermis (deep skin layer) and epidermis (outermost layer of skin). This damage can be caused by friction, burns, or other forms of injury. Option B is not correct because the stratum corneum and stratum germinativum are layers within the epidermis, not the junction between the dermis and epidermis. Option C is not correct because the subcutaneous tissue is located below the dermis, and blisters do not form there. Option D is incorrect because option A is the only correct choice.
