    Explanation
    The correct answer is gray hair because canities refers to the graying of hair. Gray hair is characterized by a loss of pigment, resulting in a silver or white color. The other options - fine, straight hair, bleached hair, and extremely curly hair - do not specifically refer to the graying of hair.

    Correct Answer
    B. Triangular.
    Explanation

Adding width to the forehead can help balance out the proportions of the face and create a more symmetrical and harmonious appearance.

    Bacilli are short rod-shaped bacteria, which matches the description given in the question. Tetanus, typhoid, TB, and diphtheria are all caused by bacilli, making it the correct answer. Diplococci, streptococci, and staphylococci are not rod-shaped bacteria, so they are not the correct answer.

The other options, such as stratum corneum and corneum, refer to the outermost layer of the epidermis, while subcutaneous refers to the layer beneath the dermis.

    Explanation
    Melanin is the correct answer because it is the pigment responsible for the color of the skin. It is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes and is deposited in the cells of the skin, hair, and eyes. Melanin helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, and it determines the color of an individual's skin, hair, and eyes.

      Medulla Layer

    • D.

      Cortex Ad

    Correct Answer
    C. Medulla Layer
    Explanation
    The three main layers of the hair shaft are the cuticle, cortex, and medulla layer. The cuticle is the outermost layer that protects the hair, while the cortex is the middle layer responsible for the hair's strength, elasticity, and color. The medulla layer, located at the center of the hair shaft, is a soft, spongy region that may or may not be present in all hair types. It is not as essential as the cuticle and cortex, but it can play a role in the overall structure and characteristics of the hair.
