      A massage

    • B.

      An ice pack

Ulcers can occur in various parts of the body, such as the stomach (gastric ulcers) or the mouth (oral ulcers). They are often painful and can be caused by factors like infection, injury, or underlying health conditions. Ulcers differ from cysts, polyps, and nodules, which are not typically associated with open sores on tissue surfaces.

      Paraffin wax

    • B.

      A mild astringent

    • C.

    Correct Answer
    B. A mild astringent
    Explanation
    After removing a facial mask, it is recommended to use a mild astringent to tone the skin. Astringents are skincare products that help to tighten the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. They also remove any remaining dirt or residue from the skin, leaving it clean and refreshed. Using a mild astringent can help to balance the skin's pH levels and prepare it for further skincare steps, such as moisturizing. Paraffin wax, a mild disinfectant, and a solution of uric acid are not commonly used for toning the skin after removing a facial mask.

    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.

    D. 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, preventing them from becoming dry and brittle. Sebum helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance and provides a protective barrier against external factors such as bacteria and pollutants. It also helps to keep the skin soft and supple, preventing it from becoming overly dry or irritated. Therefore, the correct answer is "to lubricate the skin."

      To lubricate the skin

    Correct Answer
    B. To cool the skin
    Explanation
    Sweat is produced by sweat glands in the skin and serves the function of cooling the body. When we sweat, the moisture on our skin evaporates, taking away heat from the body and thus helping to regulate body temperature. This process is especially important during physical activity or in hot environments, as it helps prevent overheating and maintains a stable body temperature. Therefore, the function of sweat is to cool the skin.

    What are sebaceous glands?

    • A.

      Oil glands

    • B.

      Endocrine glands

    • C.

      Ductless glands

    • D.

      Sweat glands

    Correct Answer
    A. Oil glands
    Explanation
    Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing and secreting oil, known as sebum, onto the skin's surface. This oil helps to lubricate and waterproof the skin, preventing it from drying out. Sebaceous glands are found all over the body, except for the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. They are typically attached to hair follicles and release sebum through small ducts. Therefore, the correct answer is "oil glands."

    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.
