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.

why exercise record-keeping book is essential to have for both the beginner exerciser as it is to the high-performance athlete?
Greeley [361]
The traditional recommendation was that everyone should consult with their doctor before they started to exercise. The reason behind this is that, in theory, when you start to participate in a moderate or intense activity, there is a slightly increased risk of a heart attack or cardiac complications.
