Answer:

When Steve cut his hand, his Epidermis/skin line of defense was broken.

Explanation:

The epidermis is the most superficial layer of the skin, in contact with the environment. It is formed by stratified squamous and keratinized epithelial tissue. Its name derives from the Greek words epi, which means above and dermis, which means skin. So, it means above the skin.

The functions of the epidermis are:

  • Serve as a protective barrier for the organism;
  • Absorption of ultraviolet rays from solar radiation;
  • Avoid water loss;
  • Promote the feeling of touch.

When Steve cut his hand, he injured his epidermis, and broke through that protective barrier. This opened up an opportunity for microorganisms to infect their injury.

Answer:

1. Lack of Money

2. Lack of Awareness/ Ignorance

3. Religion      

Explanation:

1. <em>Money</em> plays a crucial role when it comes to seeking health services. Once a person lacks in it, it prevents him from accessing specific health services. For example, he'd like to have his heart checked but he doesn't have enough money even to pay the doctor's fee, so he doesn't visit the doctor.

2. <em>Lack of awareness of a particular condition or disease</em> may lead to <u>not accessing health services at all.</u> For example, a person thinks that his symptom of coughing for two weeks is just normal. Thus, he doesn't seek any medical help.

3. <em>Specific religions may have their own sets of belief regarding medical treatments and healthcare.</em> For example, many priests do not agree with flu vaccination because there are findings that it could somehow cause sterility. In Christian religion, reproduction is reinforced so this means that some Christians may not avail of the flu vaccine due to its said sterility effects.
