What will you often find with dry skin?
- A.
Enlarged pores
- B.
Good skin tone
- C.
Pustules, Comedones
- D.
Coarse thin skin and Milia
Correct Answer
D. Coarse thin skin and MiliaExplanation
Dry skin often leads to the development of coarse, thin skin and milia. Dry skin lacks moisture, causing it to become flaky and rough. This can result in the skin becoming thinner and more fragile over time. Additionally, dry skin is more prone to developing milia, which are small, white bumps that occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Therefore, coarse thin skin and milia are commonly associated with dry skin.Rate this question:

Tendancy to flush easily
Correct Answer
A. Orange peel effectExplanation
Dry skin is characterized by a rough and uneven texture, similar to the surface of an orange peel. This is due to the lack of moisture and natural oils in the skin, which leads to flakiness and tightness. The orange peel effect is a common symptom of dry skin and can be caused by various factors such as cold weather, excessive bathing, or certain skin conditions.Rate this question:

Which of the following are Melanin Pigment?
- A.
Papillary, Recticular
- B.
Epidermis, Dermis
- C.
Appocrine, Eccrine
- D.
Eumelanin, Phaeomelanin
Correct Answer
D. Eumelanin, PhaeomelaninExplanation
Eumelanin and Phaeomelanin are both types of melanin pigment. Melanin is responsible for determining the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. Eumelanin is a brown-black pigment, while Phaeomelanin is a yellow-red pigment. These pigments are produced by special cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and the hair follicles. The other options listed in the question, such as Papillary, Reticular, Apocrine, and Eccrine, are not related to melanin pigment.Rate this question:

What of the following contains the most melanin?
- A.
Asian
- B.
Oriental
- C.
Caucasian
- D.
African Carribbean
Correct Answer
D. African CarribbeanExplanation
African Carribbean individuals typically have higher levels of melanin compared to individuals of Asian, Oriental, or Caucasian descent. Melanin is responsible for determining the color of our skin, hair, and eyes, and it provides protection against harmful UV radiation from the sun. People with darker skin tones typically have higher melanin levels, which helps to absorb and dissipate UV radiation more effectively. This is an adaptive trait that developed in populations living in regions with higher sun exposure.Rate this question:

Which of the following are used when one is talking, walking or writing?
- A.
Involuntary Muscles
- B.
Cardiac Muscles
- C.
Voluntary Muscles
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
C. Voluntary MusclesExplanation
Voluntary muscles are used when one is talking, walking, or writing. These muscles are under conscious control and can be voluntarily activated or relaxed by the individual. Talking involves the use of muscles in the mouth, throat, and vocal cords. Walking requires the activation of muscles in the legs and feet to move and maintain balance. Writing involves the use of muscles in the hand, wrist, and arm to hold and manipulate the writing instrument. Therefore, voluntary muscles are the correct answer for this question.Rate this question:

Option 4
Correct Answer
B. Involuntary MusclesExplanation
Involuntary muscles are the muscles that we cannot control consciously. These muscles are responsible for various automatic bodily functions such as digestion, breathing, and heart contractions. Unlike voluntary muscles, which we can control and move at will, involuntary muscles function independently without our conscious effort. Therefore, the correct answer is "Involuntary Muscles".Rate this question:

Which type of muscle is found in the heart?
- A.
Buccinator
- B.
Voluntary
- C.
Involuntary
- D.
Cardiac
Correct Answer
D. CardiacExplanation
Cardiac muscle is the correct answer because it is the type of muscle found in the heart. Unlike skeletal muscle, which is voluntary and can be consciously controlled, cardiac muscle is involuntary and contracts rhythmically to pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle is specifically adapted to meet the demands of the heart, allowing it to contract efficiently and continuously without fatigue.Rate this question:

Each muscle has an - at one end and - at the other end
Correct Answer
Origin, InstertionExplanation
Each muscle in the human body has an origin and an insertion point. The origin is the fixed attachment point of the muscle, usually located closer to the body's midline. The insertion is the movable attachment point, usually located further away from the body's midline. These two points determine the range of motion and action of the muscle. The origin remains relatively stable during muscle contraction, while the insertion moves towards the origin, causing the desired movement.Rate this question:

Which of the following will contra-indicate facial treatments?
- A.
Milia
- B.
Conjuntivitus
- C.
Comedone
- D.
Broken Capillary
Correct Answer
B. ConjuntivitusExplanation
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It is a highly contagious condition that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies. Facial treatments involve applying products and techniques to the face, which may come in contact with the eyes. Since conjunctivitis is contagious and can cause discomfort and irritation to the eyes, it would be contra-indicated to perform facial treatments on someone with this condition to prevent further spread of the infection and potential harm to the client.Rate this question:

Ageing of the skin is mainly due to?
- A.
Excess adipose tissue
- B.
Under-activity of the sweat glands
- C.
Over-activity of the sebaceous glands
- D.
Degeneration of elastin and collagen
Correct Answer
D. Degeneration of elastin and collagenExplanation
The correct answer is degeneration of elastin and collagen. As we age, the production of elastin and collagen in our skin decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness. Elastin and collagen are proteins that provide structure and support to the skin, helping it to stay smooth and supple. When these proteins break down and degenerate, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. This process is a natural part of aging and is influenced by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices.Rate this question:

The muscle that is responsible for winking is called?
- A.
Orbicularis Oculi
- B.
Orbicularis Oris
- C.
Corrugator
- D.
Frontalis
Correct Answer
A. Orbicularis OculiExplanation
The muscle responsible for winking is called the Orbicularis Oculi. This muscle encircles the eye and controls the closing and squinting movements of the eyelids. It is composed of two parts, the palpebral part which closes the eyelids gently, and the orbital part which tightly closes the eyelids. When the Orbicularis Oculi contracts, it causes the eyelids to close, allowing for a wink.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is a contra-indication to a steaming treatment?
- A.
Comedones
- B.
Blocked Pores
- C.
Rosacea
- D.
Dehyrated skin
Correct Answer
C. RosaceaExplanation
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, flushing, and sometimes the appearance of small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face. It is a contra-indication to a steaming treatment because the heat from the steam can exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea, causing increased redness, inflammation, and irritation. Steaming can also dilate blood vessels, which can worsen the flushing associated with rosacea. Therefore, individuals with rosacea should avoid steaming treatments to prevent further irritation and discomfort.Rate this question:

Which one of the following is a characteristic of dry skin?
- A.
Open Pores
- B.
Sallow Skin Tone
- C.
Thickened Skin Texture
- D.
Fine Textured Skin
Correct Answer
D. Fine Textured SkinExplanation
Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture and oil, which can result in a rough and flaky texture. Fine textured skin refers to skin that is smooth and has a refined appearance. This is often associated with dry skin because the lack of moisture can cause the skin to become thin and delicate, giving it a fine texture. Open pores, sallow skin tone, and thickened skin texture are not typically associated with dry skin.Rate this question:
