Psoriasia appears as:
- Elevated nodules
- Loss of body hair
- A viral infection
- Scaly, red lesions
Correct Answer

A. Scaly, red lesions

Explanation

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by scaly, red lesions on the skin. These lesions are often itchy and can appear on various parts of the body. The redness is caused by inflammation, and the scaling occurs due to the rapid turnover of skin cells. Psoriasis is not caused by a viral infection, and it does not result in the loss of body hair. Therefore, the most accurate description of psoriasis is scaly, red lesions.

What is a beneficial action of a clay mask?
- To deepen color
- To soften the skin
- To absorb impurities

Correct Answer

A. To absorb impurities

Explanation

A clay mask is beneficial because it helps to absorb impurities from the skin. Clay has natural detoxifying properties that can draw out dirt, oil, and other impurities from the pores. By absorbing these impurities, the clay mask helps to cleanse and purify the skin, leaving it looking clearer and healthier. Additionally, the clay mask can also help to tighten and refine the pores, leading to a smoother and more even complexion.

Muscular tissue may be stimulated by:
- A massage
- An ice pack
- A makeup base
- An astringent
Correct Answer

A. A massage

Explanation

Muscular tissue may be stimulated by a massage because the pressure and manipulation applied during a massage can help increase blood flow to the muscles, improve circulation, and relieve tension. This stimulation can help relax and loosen tight muscles, reduce muscle soreness, and promote overall muscle health and flexibility. Additionally, a massage can also help release endorphins, which are natural pain relievers, further enhancing the positive effects on muscular tissue.

Ulcers can occur in various parts of the body, such as the skin, mouth, stomach, or intestines. They are often painful and can be caused by factors like infection, injury, or underlying medical conditions such as gastritis or peptic ulcers. Treatment for ulcers may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or in severe cases, surgical intervention.

After removal of a facial mask, what should be used to tone the skin?
- Paraffin wax
- A mild astringent

After removing a facial mask, it is recommended to use a mild astringent to tone the skin. Astringents help to tighten the pores and remove any remaining dirt or oil from the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and balanced. They also help to restore the skin's pH balance and prepare it for further skincare steps, such as moisturizing. Paraffin wax, a mild disinfectant, and a solution of uric acid are not typically used for toning the skin after removing a facial mask.

What are sudoriferous glands?
- Oil glands
- Endocrine glands
- Ductless glands
- Sweat glands
Correct Answer

A. Sweat glands

Explanation

Sebaceous glands secrete oil that helps our skin retain moisture and avoid drying out. During puberty, sebaceous glands become more active and can lead to acne. Sudoriferous glands are sweat glands whose primary function is to cool the body by producing sweat. Some sudoriferous glands also secrete pheromones.

11.

What is the function of sebum?
- To dry the skin
- To cool the skin
- To cleanse the skin
- To lubricate the skin
Correct Answer

A. To lubricate the skin

Explanation

Sebum is an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Its main function is to lubricate the skin and hair, keeping them moisturized and preventing them from becoming dry and brittle. Sebum also helps to protect the skin by forming a protective barrier that prevents excessive water loss and protects against external irritants. Therefore, the correct answer is "to lubricate the skin."

Rate this question:
12.

What is the function of sweat?
- To dry the skin
- To cool the skin
- To cleanse the skin
- To lubricate the skin
Correct Answer

A. To cool the skin

Explanation

Sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin and its primary function is to cool the body. When we sweat, the moisture on our skin evaporates, taking away heat from the body and thus helping to regulate our body temperature. This is especially important during physical activities or in hot weather when our body temperature rises. Sweat also contains small amounts of waste products, which can contribute to cleansing the skin to some extent, but its main purpose is to cool rather than cleanse or lubricate the skin.

Rate this question:
13.

What are sebaceous glands?
- Oil glands
- Endocrine glands
- Ductless glands
- Sweat glands
Correct Answer

A. Oil glands

Explanation

Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing and secreting oil, known as sebum, which helps lubricate the skin and hair. These glands are found all over the body, except for the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Sebum helps to keep the skin moisturized and protected, but excessive production can lead to oily skin and clogged pores. Therefore, sebaceous glands are commonly referred to as oil glands.

Open wounds, severe acne, and contagious skin conditions are contraindications because massage can irritate these conditions or spread infection.

Which of the following is NOT a common method of hair removal?
- Waxing
- Threading
- Microdermabrasion
- Sugaring
Correct Answer

A. Microdermabrasion

Explanation

Microdermabrasion is a skin exfoliation technique, not a hair removal method. Waxing, threading, and sugaring are common methods for removing unwanted hair from various parts of the body. Waxing involves applying warm wax to the skin and then removing it quickly, along with the embedded hair. Threading uses a twisted thread to trap and remove hair. Sugaring is similar to waxing but uses a paste made of sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Explain the role of melanin in skin color and protection. What skin disorder is defined by a lack of melanin?
- A
- B
- C
Correct Answer

A. C

Explanation

Skin color is largely determined by the number of melanocytes in a person's skin, which produce melanin--increased melanin means darker skin. Melanin protects skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun, so sun exposure causes melanocytes to increase melanin production. Albinism occurs when the skin fails to produce melanin.

Early pigments were NOT made from?
- Minerals
- Nuts

Correct Answer

A. Feathers

Explanation

Early pigments were made from minerals, nuts, and insects, but not feathers. Feathers were not commonly used as a source for pigments because they do not contain the necessary properties to create vibrant and long-lasting colors. Minerals such as ochre and malachite were commonly used for their natural pigmentation properties, nuts such as walnuts were used for their brown and black dyes, and insects such as cochineal were used for their red dye. Feathers were primarily used for decorative purposes rather than as a source for pigments.
