2. The _______ glands secrete sebum?

Explanation

Sebaceous glands secrete sebum, an oily substance that lubricates and waterproofs the skin and hair. These glands are found all over the body, except for the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Sebum helps to keep the skin moisturized and protects it from drying out. It also helps to prevent the hair from becoming brittle and keeps it shiny. The sebaceous glands can become overactive, leading to oily skin and acne, or underactive, resulting in dry skin.

Submit
3. The term used to describe abnormal hair loss is?

Explanation

Alopecia is the correct answer because it is the term used to describe abnormal hair loss. Alopecia can refer to hair loss on the scalp or any other part of the body. It can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications. The term "Scutula" refers to a crust or scab on the skin, "Monilethrix" is a rare genetic condition that causes hair to become brittle and break easily, and "Trichoptilosis" is the medical term for split ends.

Submit
4. Proteins are made of long chain of?

Explanation

Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). These amino acids are linked together through peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains, which then fold into specific three-dimensional structures to create functional proteins. Therefore, the correct answer is amino acids.

Submit
5. The ability of the hair to stretch & return to its original length without breaking is called?

Explanation

Elasticity refers to the ability of hair to stretch and then return to its original length without breaking. This property is important for hair as it allows it to withstand tension and manipulation without snapping or becoming damaged. Hair with good elasticity is less prone to breakage and can better withstand styling techniques such as heat and chemical treatments.

Submit
6. Hair is approximately 90 percent?

Explanation

Hair is made up of a protein called keratin, which is responsible for its strength and structure. Keratin makes up approximately 90 percent of the composition of hair. It provides hair with its elasticity and helps to prevent breakage. Protein is essential for the growth and maintenance of hair, and a lack of protein in the diet can lead to weak and brittle hair. Therefore, it is correct to say that hair is approximately 90 percent protein.

Submit
7. Which type of Alopecia describes temporary hair loss at the end of a pregnancy?

Explanation

Postpartum Alopecia refers to temporary hair loss that occurs after giving birth. During pregnancy, hormonal changes cause an increase in hair growth, resulting in thicker and fuller hair. However, after delivery, hormone levels return to normal, and many women experience excessive shedding of hair, leading to thinning or bald spots. This condition is temporary and usually resolves on its own within a few months. Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss, Androgenic Alopecia is genetic hair loss, and Alopecia Totalis refers to complete hair loss on the scalp.

Submit
8. Hair that has the largest diameter & usually requires more processing time is?

Explanation

Coarse hair refers to hair that has a larger diameter compared to other types of hair. This means that each individual strand of coarse hair is thicker. Due to its larger diameter, coarse hair usually requires more processing time, whether it's for styling, coloring, or other treatments. This is because the larger diameter of each strand makes it more resistant to chemical processes and heat styling. Therefore, coarse hair requires more time and effort to achieve desired results compared to hair with smaller diameters.

Submit
9. Hair follicles are distributed all over the body, with the exception of the?

Explanation

Hair follicles are distributed all over the body, except for the palms of hands and soles of feet. This is because the skin on the palms and soles is thick and specialized for gripping and walking, respectively. The absence of hair follicles in these areas allows for better tactile sensitivity and grip.

Submit
10. The technical term used to describe gray hair is?

Explanation

Canities is the correct answer because it is the technical term used to describe gray hair. It refers to the loss of pigmentation in the hair, resulting in a gray or white color. Malassezia is a type of fungus that can cause skin conditions, Hypertrichosis is excessive hair growth, and Pityriasis is a skin condition characterized by flaking and scaling.

Submit
11. Which of the following is NOT one of the three types of side bonds of the cortex?

Explanation

The given answer, "Cortex bonds," is not one of the three types of side bonds of the cortex. The three types of side bonds of the cortex are disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and salt bonds. Cortex bonds are not recognized as a type of side bond in the cortex.

Submit
12. The five major elements in skin & hair are referred to as the __________ elements.

Explanation

The five major elements in skin & hair are referred to as the COHNS elements. COHNS stands for Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur, which are the essential elements found in proteins, nucleic acids, and other important molecules in the skin and hair. These elements are crucial for maintaining the structure, function, and overall health of the skin and hair.

Submit
13. New hair is produced during the _______ phase, or growing phase, of hair growth?

Explanation

During the anagen phase of hair growth, new hair is produced. This is the active phase where the hair follicles are actively dividing and producing new cells. The hair shaft grows longer during this phase, and it can last for several years. After the anagen phase, the hair enters the catagen phase, followed by the telogen phase, where the hair stops growing and eventually falls out. Therefore, the anagen phase is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the phase of hair growth when new hair is produced.

Submit
14. Pheomelanin provides hair colors ranging from?

Explanation

Pheomelanin is a pigment that is responsible for providing red and blonde hair colors. It is a type of melanin that is found in varying amounts in individuals with different hair colors. Higher levels of pheomelanin result in red hair, while lower levels result in blonde hair. Therefore, the correct answer is "Red to blond".

Submit
15. A helix is?

Explanation

A helix is a shape that resembles a spiral. It is characterized by a curved or coiled structure that follows a consistent pattern. This spiral-shaped structure can be observed in various natural and man-made objects, such as DNA molecules, snail shells, and springs. The term "helix" is derived from the Greek word "helix" meaning "spiral."

Submit
16. Vellus hair almost never has a?

Explanation

Vellus hair refers to the fine, short, and barely noticeable hair that covers most of our body. Unlike terminal hair (such as scalp hair), vellus hair almost never has a medulla. The medulla is the innermost layer of the hair shaft and is composed of loosely packed cells. Since vellus hair is thin and fine, it lacks the medulla, which is commonly found in thicker and coarser terminal hair.

Submit
17. The scientific study of hair & its diseases & care is called?

Explanation

Trichology is the correct answer because it specifically refers to the scientific study of hair and its diseases and care. Physiology is the study of how living organisms function, which is too broad to be the correct answer. Cosmetology is the study of beauty treatments, including hair, but it does not focus solely on the scientific aspect of hair. Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with the skin, hair, and nails, but it does not solely focus on hair. Therefore, Trichology is the most appropriate term for the scientific study of hair and its related aspects.

Submit
18. The maturing process of hair is?

Explanation

Keratinization is the correct answer because it refers to the process by which hair cells undergo maturation and become hard and durable. During keratinization, the hair cells produce the protein keratin, which gives hair its strength and structure. This process occurs as new hair cells are formed at the base of the hair follicle and push older cells upward, causing them to become keratinized and form the shaft of the hair.

Submit
19. The measurement of the individual hair strands on 1 square inch of the hair scalp is hair?

Explanation

Density is the correct answer because it refers to the number of individual hair strands present in a given area. In this case, the measurement is taken on 1 square inch of the hair scalp, indicating the concentration of hair strands within that specific area. Elasticity, texture, and porosity are not relevant to measuring the number of hair strands in a given area.

Submit
20. Hair ________ is the thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand.

Explanation

Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand. It can be classified as fine, medium, or coarse. Texture plays a significant role in determining how the hair looks, feels, and behaves. It affects how easily the hair can be styled, the level of volume and body it has, and its overall appearance. Different hair textures require different types of care and styling techniques. Length, strength, and shape are not directly related to the thickness or diameter of the hair strand, hence they are not the correct answers.

Submit
21. Research had determined that dandruff is the result of a fungus called?

Explanation

Research has shown that dandruff is caused by a fungus called Malassezia. This fungus is naturally present on the scalp and feeds on the oils produced by the hair follicles. When there is an overgrowth of Malassezia, it can lead to an inflammatory response in the scalp, causing itching and flaking of the skin, which is commonly known as dandruff.

Submit
22. The final phase in the hair cycle, lasting until the fully grown hair is shed, is the _____ phase.

Explanation

The final phase in the hair cycle, lasting until the fully grown hair is shed, is called the telogen phase. During this phase, the hair follicle is at rest and the hair is no longer growing. Instead, it remains in the follicle until it is eventually shed and replaced by a new hair during the next anagen phase. The telogen phase typically lasts for a few months before the hair is shed naturally.

Submit
23. People with dry hair & scalp should?

Explanation

People with dry hair and scalp should use products containing emollients. Emollients are substances that help to soften and moisturize the hair and scalp. They provide hydration and nourishment to the dry hair and scalp, helping to restore moisture and prevent further dryness. Using products with a high alcohol content or strong soaps can further strip the hair and scalp of moisture, exacerbating the dryness. Shampooing frequently can also lead to dryness as it can remove natural oils from the hair and scalp. Therefore, using products containing emollients is the best choice for individuals with dry hair and scalp.

Submit
24. The small, cone-shaped area at the base of the hair follicle that fits into the hair bulb is the?

Explanation

The dermal papilla is the small, cone-shaped area at the base of the hair follicle that fits into the hair bulb. It is responsible for supplying blood and nutrients to the hair follicle, which promotes hair growth. The dermal papilla also plays a role in controlling the thickness and color of the hair.

Submit
25. Generally, only which type of hair contains a medulla?

Explanation

Thick, coarse hair contains a medulla because the medulla is a central core within the hair shaft that is composed of cells. This core is typically found in thicker and coarser hair types, providing structural support and adding to the overall strength of the hair strand. In contrast, fine hair usually lacks a medulla or has a very small and less prominent one. Naturally blond or brown hair does not determine the presence or absence of a medulla, as it is primarily dependent on the hair's thickness and coarseness.

Submit
26. When a parasite called a mite burrows under the skin, the result is?

Explanation

Scabies is caused by a parasite called a mite that burrows under the skin. This infestation results in intense itching and a rash, typically in areas such as the wrists, elbows, and genitals. Dandruff is a scalp condition characterized by flaking skin, not caused by mites burrowing under the skin. Tinea refers to a group of fungal infections that can affect the skin, hair, or nails. Head lice are parasitic insects that infest the scalp and hair, but they do not burrow under the skin like mites do.

Submit
27. Hair that forms a circular growing pattern, as on the crown of the head, is called a?

Explanation

A whorl is a term used to describe hair that forms a circular growing pattern, typically found on the crown of the head. It is characterized by hair that grows in a circular or spiral direction, creating a distinct pattern. This term is commonly used in the field of hair analysis and can help identify individuals based on their unique hair patterns. A whorl is different from a cowlick, which refers to a tuft or section of hair that grows in a different direction from the rest of the hair.

Submit
28. The thickened, club-shaped structure that forms the lower part of the hair root is the?

Explanation

The hair bulb is the thickened, club-shaped structure that forms the lower part of the hair root. It is located at the base of the hair follicle and contains the actively dividing cells that produce the hair shaft. The hair bulb also contains the papilla, which supplies nutrients to the growing hair. The cortex and medulla are layers within the hair shaft, while the hair follicle is the structure that surrounds and supports the hair.

Submit
29. The portion of the hair that projects above the skin are the?

Explanation

The hair shaft refers to the portion of the hair that is visible above the skin. It is the part of the hair that we can see and touch. The hair shaft is made up of dead cells that have been pushed up through the hair follicle. It is composed of a protein called keratin, which gives hair its strength and elasticity. The hair shaft is responsible for protecting the hair follicle and providing insulation to the body.

Submit
30. Which types of side bond can be broken by water or heat?

Explanation

Hydrogen bonds can be broken by water or heat. Hydrogen bonds are formed between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. These bonds are relatively weak and can be disrupted by the presence of water molecules or an increase in temperature. Water molecules can compete with the hydrogen bond, breaking it and forming new hydrogen bonds with the electronegative atom. Similarly, an increase in temperature can provide enough energy to overcome the attraction between the hydrogen and electronegative atom, resulting in the breaking of the hydrogen bond.

Submit
31. The two parts of a mature strand of human hair are?

Explanation

The two parts of a mature strand of human hair are the hair root and the hair shaft. The hair root is located below the surface of the skin and is responsible for anchoring the hair in the follicle. It also contains the hair bulb, which is the living part of the hair that produces new cells. The hair shaft, on the other hand, is the visible part of the hair that extends above the skin's surface. It is composed of dead cells that have been pushed up from the hair root.

Submit
32. Polypeptide chains are cross-linked like the rungs on a ladder by ________ different types of side bonds?

Explanation

Polypeptide chains are cross-linked by three different types of side bonds. These bonds include disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Disulfide bonds form between two cysteine amino acids and contribute to the stability of the protein structure. Hydrogen bonds form between the amino and carboxyl groups of different amino acids, helping to maintain the secondary structure of the protein. Hydrophobic interactions occur between nonpolar amino acids, causing them to cluster together in the protein's interior. These three types of side bonds play a crucial role in determining the overall structure and function of the protein.

Submit
33. The medulla is composed of ________ cells

Explanation

The medulla is composed of round cells. This means that the cells in the medulla have a circular shape. The round shape of the cells in the medulla may have specific functions or characteristics that are important for its role in the body. However, without further context or information, it is difficult to provide a more detailed explanation.

Submit
34. An acute, localized bacterial infection of a hair follicle that produces constant pain, is called a boil or a?

Explanation

A furuncle is an acute, localized bacterial infection of a hair follicle that causes constant pain. It is commonly known as a boil. This infection is typically caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. The infection starts as a small, red, tender bump and gradually develops into a larger, painful, pus-filled swelling. Treatment usually involves applying warm compresses to the affected area, keeping it clean, and in some cases, antibiotics may be prescribed.

Submit
35. Salt bonds can be broken by _______ solutions.

Explanation

Salt bonds can be broken by both strong alkaline and strong acidic solutions. Strong alkaline solutions have a high concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) which can react with the salt bonds and break them. Similarly, strong acidic solutions have a high concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) which can also react with the salt bonds and break them. Therefore, both strong alkaline and strong acidic solutions have the ability to break salt bonds.

Submit
36. The wave pattern of the hair to the ______ of the hair strand.

Explanation

The wave pattern of the hair refers to the way the hair naturally curls or falls. This wave pattern is determined by the shape of the hair strand itself. The shape of the hair strand can vary from straight to wavy to curly, and this determines the overall wave pattern of the hair. Weight, color, and density do not directly affect the wave pattern of the hair.

Submit
37. Alternating bands of grey & pigmented hair throughout the length of the hair strain is called?

Explanation

Ringed hair refers to the presence of alternating bands of grey and pigmented hair throughout the length of the hair strand. This condition is characterized by the appearance of rings or bands of different colors along the hair shaft. It is a cosmetic condition and does not cause any harm or medical complications.

Submit
38. Amino acids are joined by __________ bonds.

Explanation

Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. This bond is formed through a dehydration reaction, where a water molecule is removed. Peptide bonds are responsible for linking amino acids together to form proteins.

Submit
39. Disulfide bonds account for about ______ of the hair's overall strength?

Explanation

Disulfide bonds contribute to approximately one-third of the hair's overall strength. These bonds are formed between sulfur atoms in the hair's protein structure, creating a strong and stable network. Without these bonds, the hair would be weaker and more prone to breakage.

Submit
40. Trichorrhexis Nodosa is the technical term for?

Explanation

Trichorrhexis Nodosa refers to a condition in which the hair shaft becomes weak and develops nodules or knots along its length. This causes the hair to break easily and appear knotted. Gray hair, split ends, and beaded hair are not specific terms used to describe this condition.

Submit
41. The technical term for brittle hair is?

Explanation

Fragilitas crinium is the correct answer because it is the technical term used to describe brittle hair. Fragilitas crinium refers to a condition where the hair becomes weak, fragile, and prone to breakage. This condition can be caused by various factors such as excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medical conditions.

Submit
42. Which layer of hair consists of transparent, scale-like cells?

Explanation

The hair cuticle is the outermost layer of the hair shaft. It consists of transparent, scale-like cells that overlap each other like shingles on a roof. These cells provide a protective barrier for the inner layers of the hair, and they also help to maintain the integrity and strength of the hair strand.

Submit
43. Extremely curly hair does NOT typically?

Explanation

Extremely curly hair does not typically have a fairly regular and uniform diameter along a single strand. Curly hair tends to have variations in diameter, resulting in a more irregular texture.

Submit
44. A study suggest that bald men are perceived as?

Explanation

The study suggests that bald men are perceived as older. This could be due to the association of baldness with aging, as hair loss often occurs as men get older. Additionally, societal stereotypes and cultural norms may contribute to the perception that bald men are more mature or experienced. It is important to note that this perception may not be accurate or fair, as individual characteristics and qualities should not be solely determined by physical appearance.

Submit
45. Which layer of hair provides a barrier that protects the inner structure of hair?

Explanation

The hair cuticle is the correct answer because it is the outermost layer of the hair shaft and acts as a protective barrier for the inner structure of the hair. It consists of overlapping scales that help to prevent damage and dehydration of the hair by sealing the hair shaft. The cuticle also plays a role in determining the texture and appearance of the hair.

Submit
46. The cortex of the hair has a fibrous protein core formed by _____ cells.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Elongated" because the cortex of the hair is composed of elongated cells. These cells contain a fibrous protein core, which gives the hair its strength and structure. The elongated shape of these cells allows them to align parallel to the hair shaft, providing support and stability to the hair.

Submit
47. Hydroxide chemical hair relaxer break disulfide bonds & convert them to?

Explanation

Hydroxide chemical hair relaxers break disulfide bonds, which are responsible for the hair's natural curl or wave pattern. These relaxers convert the disulfide bonds into lanthionine bonds. Lanthionine bonds are formed by the reaction between the hydroxide ions in the relaxer and the cysteine amino acids in the hair. The formation of lanthionine bonds results in permanently straightened hair.

Submit
48. Which of the following statements is true?

Explanation

The statement "Anyone of any race can have straight to extremely curly hair" is true because hair texture is determined by the shape of the hair follicle, which can vary among individuals regardless of their race. This means that people of any race can have straight, wavy, or curly hair, ranging from mild to extremely curly.

Submit
49. The _________ is the tube-like depression in the skin or scalp that contains the hair root.

Explanation

The hair follicle is the tube-like depression in the skin or scalp that contains the hair root. It is responsible for producing and nourishing the hair. The hair bulb, dermal papilla, and hair shaft are all components of the hair follicle, but the hair follicle itself is the structure that surrounds and protects the hair root.

Submit
50. How many hair growth treatments have been approved by the FDA for sale in the United States?

Explanation

The FDA has approved two hair growth treatments for sale in the United States.

Submit
51. The average hair density is about how many hairs per square inch?

Explanation

The average hair density refers to the number of hairs present in a given area, specifically per square inch. In this case, the correct answer is 2,200, which means that on average, there are approximately 2,200 hairs per square inch.

Submit
52. The condition that describes abnormal growth of hair is?

Explanation

Hypertrichosis is the correct answer because it is a condition that describes abnormal growth of hair. It is characterized by excessive hair growth on areas of the body where hair does not normally grow or by hair that is longer, thicker, or darker than usual. This condition can be either congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life. Hypertrichosis can be localized, affecting only specific areas, or generalized, affecting the entire body. It can be caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, certain medications, or underlying medical conditions.

Submit
53. These neutralizers are used to reform ______ bonds.

Explanation

Disulfide bonds are a type of covalent bond that form between two sulfur atoms in proteins. These bonds play a crucial role in stabilizing the structure of proteins. Neutralizers are substances that can break or reform these disulfide bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is "Disulfide" as the neutralizers mentioned in the question are used to reform disulfide bonds.

Submit
54. Which condition is characterized by dry, sulfur-yellow, cuplike crusts on the scalp?

Explanation

Tinea Favosa is a condition characterized by dry, sulfur-yellow, cuplike crusts on the scalp. It is a type of fungal infection that affects the scalp and hair follicles. The crusts are often described as resembling a honeycomb or a piece of bread. This condition is caused by a fungus called Trichophyton schoenleinii and can cause hair loss, itching, and inflammation. Treatment usually involves antifungal medications to eliminate the infection and promote healing of the scalp.

Submit
55. Most of the total weight of hair comes from which layer of the hair?

Explanation

The cortex is the correct answer because it is the middle layer of the hair shaft and makes up the majority of the hair's weight. It contains the pigment that gives hair its color and provides strength and elasticity to the hair. The medulla is the innermost layer, but it is not present in all hair types, so it does not contribute significantly to the overall weight of hair. The hair cuticle is the outermost layer and while it plays a role in protecting the hair, it is thin and does not contribute much to the weight. The hair root is not part of the hair shaft and is not considered when determining the weight of hair.

Submit
56. Which of the following conditions is an autoimmune disorder?

Explanation

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. This condition is characterized by patchy hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. It is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Unlike other types of hair loss such as Alopecia Totalis (complete loss of scalp hair), Androgenic Alopecia (pattern hair loss), or Postpartum Alopecia (hair loss after childbirth), Alopecia Areata is specifically classified as an autoimmune disorder.

Submit
57. The condition characterized by the excessive production & accumulation of skin cells is?

Explanation

Pityriasis is the correct answer because it is a condition characterized by the excessive production and accumulation of skin cells. This condition can result in the formation of dry, flaky patches on the skin, which can be itchy or cause discomfort. It is commonly known as dandruff when it affects the scalp, but it can also occur on other parts of the body. Tinea, Monilethrix, and Alopecia are not associated with the excessive production and accumulation of skin cells, making them incorrect answers.

Submit
58. Unique protein structures within the cortex are responsible for the color and ______ of hair?

Explanation

The unique protein structures within the cortex of hair are responsible for its elasticity. These protein structures, such as keratin, provide the hair with its ability to stretch and return to its original shape. Elasticity is an important characteristic of hair as it allows for flexibility and resistance to breakage.

Submit
59. Oily hair & scalp can be caused by?

Explanation

Improper shampooing can cause oily hair and scalp. When shampooing is not done correctly, it can lead to the buildup of excess oil and product residue on the scalp and hair. This can result in the hair appearing greasy and the scalp feeling oily. Proper shampooing techniques, such as using the right amount of shampoo, thoroughly rinsing the hair, and avoiding harsh products, can help prevent oily hair and scalp.

Submit
60. Peptide bonds are also known as?

Explanation

Peptide bonds are not known as "end bonds" or "side bonds" as stated in the options.
