    • Cataphoresis

    • Iontophoresis

    • Anaphoresis

    • Desincrustation

    Correct Answer
    A. Anaphoresis
    Explanation
    Anaphoresis is the process that occurs when liquid is forced into the negative ends of a positive pole. This process involves the movement of ions or particles away from the electrode. In this case, the negative ends of the positive pole would repel the negatively charged particles in the liquid, causing them to move away from the electrode. This process is commonly used in electrotherapy treatments for skincare, where it helps to cleanse the skin and remove impurities.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wounds

The light emitted by LEDs can penetrate the skin and promote cell growth, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the healing of wounds. While LED therapy has also been used for other purposes, such as treating acne and wrinkles, its original intention was to aid in wound healing.
