    What is hirsutism?

    • Hypertrichosis

    • Excessive hair growth

    • Baldness

    • Thin hair

    Correct Answer
    A. Excessive hair growth
    Explanation
    Hirsutism refers to excessive hair growth in women, typically in areas where hair is normally minimal or absent, such as the face, chest, and back. This condition is often caused by an excess of male hormones called androgens. Hirsutism can be a result of various factors including hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. It is important to note that hirsutism is different from hypertrichosis, which is characterized by excessive hair growth all over the body.

     Lasers use pulsating light beams to destroy the hair follicles.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Lasers are indeed used to destroy hair follicles. Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits future hair growth. The pulsating nature of the light beam allows for precise targeting and controlled energy delivery, ensuring effective destruction of the follicles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. Therefore, the statement "Lasers use pulsating light beams to destroy the hair follicles" is true.

    Oil ducts or sebaceous glands that are attached to the follicle are responsible for:

    • Lubricating the skin and hair

    • Lubricating just the skin

    • Making the hair shinny

    • Protecting sensitive skin

    Correct Answer
    A. Lubricating the skin and hair
    Explanation
    The oil ducts or sebaceous glands that are attached to the follicle produce sebum, which is responsible for lubricating both the skin and hair. Sebum helps to keep the skin moisturized and prevents it from drying out, while also providing a natural shine to the hair. Additionally, sebum helps to protect the skin by forming a protective barrier against bacteria and other harmful substances.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Pathogenic Bacteria is good bacteria.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Pathogenic bacteria are not considered good bacteria because they can cause diseases and harm to the host organism. Good bacteria, on the other hand, are beneficial to the host organism and play important roles in various biological processes such as digestion, immunity, and synthesis of vitamins. Therefore, the statement that pathogenic bacteria are good bacteria is false.

    Electrolysis is the only hair removal system considered permanent by the FDA.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Electrolysis is considered the only hair removal system that is recognized as permanent by the FDA. This means that it is the only method that has been proven to permanently remove hair follicles and prevent future hair growth. Other methods such as waxing, shaving, and laser hair removal may provide temporary results, but the hair eventually regrows. Electrolysis, on the other hand, uses a small electric current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing regrowth. Therefore, it is considered the only permanent hair removal option approved by the FDA.

    To effectively disinfect tools, ethyl alcohol must be no less than a(n) ____ solution.

    • 70%

    • 80%

    • 85%

    • 98%

    Correct Answer
    A. 70%
    Explanation
    To effectively disinfect tools, ethyl alcohol must be no less than a 70% solution. This is because a 70% solution of ethyl alcohol is considered the most effective concentration for killing bacteria and viruses. Higher concentrations, such as 80%, 85%, or 98%, may evaporate too quickly, reducing their effectiveness in disinfection. Therefore, a 70% solution strikes the right balance between killing pathogens and allowing enough contact time for proper disinfection.
