    • Has no effect upon

    • Helps to equalize

    • Is the only factor affecting

    • Is only capable of raising

    Correct Answer
    A. Helps to equalize
    Explanation
    Blood helps to equalize the body's temperature by distributing heat throughout the body. It carries heat from the core to the extremities, helping to maintain a consistent temperature throughout. Additionally, blood vessels near the skin can dilate or constrict to release or conserve heat, further aiding in temperature regulation.

    If a client has ridges running vertically down the length of the natural nail plate, it is recommended that you _______.

    • Aggressively file the nail plate

    • Carefully buff the nail plate

    • Thin the nail plate

    • Remove the free edge

    Correct Answer
    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. Buffing the nail plate helps to smooth out the ridges and create a more even surface. Aggressively filing the nail plate can cause damage and thinning the nail plate may not be necessary in this case. Removing the free edge is not relevant to addressing the ridges.

    __________ fibers react to heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain

    • Motor nerve

    • Sensory nerve

    • Secretory nerve

    • Complex nerve

    Correct Answer
    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.

    Hair texture refers to the thickness or diameter of individual hair strands. It can be classified as coarse, medium, or fine based on the thickness of the strands. Coarse hair has a larger diameter and feels thicker, while fine hair has a smaller diameter and feels thinner. Medium hair falls between the two, neither too thick nor too thin. This classification helps in understanding and managing different hair types and choosing suitable hair care products and styling techniques.

    • A U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)

    • An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

    Correct Answer
    A. An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

    Which of the following is a disadvantage of synthetic hair?

    • Synthetic hair always looks unnatural

    • Synthetic hair is more expensive than human hair

    • Synthetic hair cannot be exposed to extreme heat

    • Synthetic hair is more prone to fading

    Correct Answer

    To clean professional makeup brushes, the brush should always be held under running water with the ferrule __________.

    • Pointing outward

    • Pointing upward

    • Pointing downward

    • Removed

    Correct Answer
    A. Pointing downward
    Explanation
    When cleaning professional makeup brushes, it is important to hold the brush under running water with the ferrule pointing downward. This allows the water to flow through the bristles and rinse away any makeup residue or cleaning solution. Holding the brush in this position also helps to prevent water from seeping into the ferrule, which can loosen the bristles and cause damage to the brush.

    Sculptured nails are created by combining a chemical known as monomer liquid mixed with ______ to form anail enhancement.

    • Monomer powder

    • Polymer powder

    • Liquid powder

    • Molecular powder

    Correct Answer
    A. Polymer powder
    Explanation
    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.

    Correct Answer
    A. Habitually
    Explanation
    To ensure that clients who are habitually late do not disrupt the schedule, it is best to schedule them for the last appointment of the day. This way, even if they arrive late, it will not affect the appointments scheduled after theirs. Alternatively, asking them to arrive earlier than their actual appointment time can also be effective in ensuring that they are not late and the schedule remains on track.

However, having good life skills does not eliminate the need for self-esteem. Self-esteem is important for personal growth, confidence, and overall well-being, and it is not replaced by having good life skills.

    • Integumentary

    • Circulatory

    • Respiratory

    • Lymphatic

    Correct Answer
    A. Circulatory
    Explanation
    The circulatory system is responsible for distributing blood throughout the body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body, delivering nutrients and oxygen to the cells. It also carries waste products, such as carbon dioxide, away from the cells to be eliminated. The blood vessels, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, transport the blood throughout the body. Overall, the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's homeostasis and ensuring the proper functioning of all organs and tissues.

    • An oil

    • A carbon

    • A nitrogen

    Correct Answer
    A. A sulfer
    Explanation
    When shampooing a wig, it is recommended to avoid shampoos that have a sulfur base. This is because sulfur can be harsh on synthetic materials, such as those used in wigs.

    Which type of haircolor lightens and deposits color at the same time and in a single process because it is more alkaline than demipermanent colors and is usually mixed with a higher-volume developer?

    • Temporary haircolor

    • Permanent haircolor

    • Semipermanent haircolor

    • Natural haircolor

    Correct Answer
    A. Permanent haircolor
    Explanation
    Permanent haircolor is the correct answer because it lightens and deposits color at the same time and in a single process.
