TEAS Integumentary System Practice Questions
TEAS 7 Science · Human Anatomy & Physiology
The skin is more than a covering — TEAS questions test its layers and its role in temperature regulation and protection.
What the TEAS tests on Integumentary System
- Epidermis, dermis and hypodermis
- Functions: protection, thermoregulation, vitamin D synthesis, sensation
- Sweat and sebaceous glands

- Question 1A nurse is teaching a patient about how the skin can stretch and then return to its original shape. Which dermal fiber type is primarily responsible for this recoil (elasticity)?
- Question 2A nursing student is reviewing why the dermis provides most of the skin’s tensile strength and resistance to tearing. Which dermal component is most directly responsible for this strength?
- Question 3A nursing student reviews that the dermis has two layers. Which dermal layer lies just deep to the epidermis and contains dermal papillae that help nourish the avascular epidermis via capillary loops?
- Question 4A skin biopsy from the deeper dermis shows thick bundles of collagen running in multiple directions, a structure that helps the skin resist tearing from forces applied at different angles. Which tissue type is being described?
- Question 5A patient has a full-thickness laceration on the forearm. The provider explains that the skin’s deeper dermis resists tearing because of the type of connective tissue present there. Which connective tissue type predominates in the deeper (reticular) dermis?
