[Epithelial Cancer related Question]
skin cancer is most likely to develop by a. pigmented epithelial cells b. pigmented melanocytes c.nonpigmented epithelial cells d. nonpigmented melanocytes I want to say b. but I think It’s a trick
are phagocytes inhibited by the increase in RBCs in an inflammed area? yes or no
vascular tissue is composed of RBCs WBCs and platelets suspended in a fluid intercellular matrix called plasma. true or false (now don’t laugh but if the question started out ‘blood is composed……I know it would be true, so is “vascular tissue the same thing or is this a trick question too?

Both basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are more common than melanoma; only melanoma involves pigmented cells, so I’d have to go with C.
No, the RBCs trigger complement-mediated inflammation, but RBCs are confined to the blood vessels and phagocytes extravasate.
Blood may be considered a special type of connective tissue. I don’t have a clue what your instructor may have defined as “vascular tissue.” Lots of times, that term is used to include vessels, so the question would be false. Check your notes or textbook to see if “vascular tissue” was used as a synonym for blood, or not. Your reasoning is good, but it’s all about defining the terminology here.
