A. Carefully buff the nail plate

Explanation

If a client has ridges running vertically down the length of the natural nail plate, it is recommended to carefully buff the nail plate.

__________ fibers react to heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain
- Motor nerve
- Sensory nerve
- Secretory nerve

A. Sensory nerve

Explanation

Sensory nerves are responsible for transmitting signals from the sensory organs to the central nervous system. These nerves are specialized to detect and respond to various stimuli such as heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain. When these sensory fibers are stimulated by these external factors, they generate electrical signals that are then transmitted to the brain for interpretation. Therefore, sensory nerves are the correct answer as they react to heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain.

Sculptured nails are created by combining a chemical known as monomer liquid with polymer powder to form a nail enhancement. Polymer powder is commonly used in the nail industry as it helps to create a strong and durable nail enhancement when mixed with monomer liquid. This combination forms a thick paste-like substance that can be molded and shaped onto the natural nail or nail extension to create the desired nail shape and length. Once the mixture is applied and shaped, it is then cured or hardened using a UV light or air-dried, resulting in a beautiful and long-lasting sculptured nail.
