    Correct Answer
    A. Removal of dead skin cells
    Explanation
    Desquamation refers to the natural process of shedding or sloughing off dead skin cells from the outermost layer of the skin. This process helps to renew the skin's surface and maintain its health.

    How would you adapt a facial for a male client?

    • Do not use moisturiser

    • Do not steam

    • Do not massage

    • Do not use cotton wool

    Correct Answer
    A. Do not use cotton wool
    Explanation
    When adapting a facial for a male client, it is important to consider their specific needs and preferences. One way to adapt the facial is by not using cotton wool. This is because some men may find cotton wool uncomfortable or irritating on their skin. Instead, alternative methods such as using a soft cloth or disposable wipes can be used for cleansing and toning the skin. By avoiding the use of cotton wool, the facial can be customized to ensure the client's comfort and satisfaction.

    What is mitosis?

    • Cell reproduction

    • Lymph reproduction

    • Blood reproduction

    • Waste reproduction

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell reproduction
    Explanation
    Mitosis is the process of cell reproduction, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms. During mitosis, the genetic material of the parent cell is evenly distributed to the daughter cells, ensuring that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. This allows for the maintenance of the organism's genetic information and the production of new cells with the same genetic material. Therefore, the correct answer is "Cell reproduction".

    How often should a client come in for a waxing treatment?

    • 1-2 weeks

    • 3-4 weeks

    • 4-6 weeks

    • 4-8 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. 4-6 weeks
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4-6 weeks because this is the recommended time frame for a client to come in for a waxing treatment. This allows enough time for the hair to grow back to a sufficient length for effective waxing, but not too long that it becomes difficult to remove. Coming in every 4-6 weeks also helps to maintain smooth and hair-free skin without causing excessive irritation or discomfort.

    What is a comedone?

    • Pore blocked with sebum

    Correct Answer
    A. Pore blocked with sebum
    Explanation
    A comedone is a type of acne lesion that occurs when a pore becomes blocked with sebum, which is the oily substance produced by the skin's sebaceous glands. When the pore is blocked with sebum, it can lead to the formation of a blackhead or a whitehead. Sebum is a natural substance that helps to lubricate and protect the skin, but when it becomes trapped in a pore, it can mix with dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to inflammation and the development of acne.

    Explanation
    The correct order of the hair growth cycle is Anagen, Catagen, Telogen. During the Anagen phase, the hair follicles are actively producing new hair cells, resulting in hair growth. This phase can last for several years. The Catagen phase is a transitional phase where hair growth slows down and the hair follicles shrink. This phase lasts for a few weeks. The Telogen phase is the resting phase where the hair follicles are not actively producing new hair cells. This phase lasts for a few months before the cycle starts again with the Anagen phase.

This ensures that the tools are free from any potential pathogens before they are used in medical or therapeutic procedures, reducing the risk of infection for patients. Autoclaves are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings to maintain a sterile environment and prevent the spread of diseases.

    • Supplies nourishment

    • Produces new nail cells

    • Protects the hyponychium

    • No real function

    Correct Answer
    A. Supplies nourishment
    Explanation
    The nail bed is responsible for supplying nourishment to the nail. It contains blood vessels that provide nutrients and oxygen to the cells in the nail matrix, which is the area where new nail cells are produced. These new cells then push older cells forward, causing the nail to grow. Therefore, the function of the nail bed is to support the growth and health of the nail by providing essential nutrients.

    What is the name of the lymph node you massage too when carrying out an arm massage?

    • Supratrochlear

    • Inguinal

    • Right Lymphatic Duct

    Correct Answer
    A. Supratrochlear
    Explanation
    The supratrochlear lymph node is the correct answer because it is located in the upper part of the arm, near the elbow. When carrying out an arm massage, massaging the supratrochlear lymph node can help stimulate lymphatic drainage and promote circulation in the arm. The other options, popliteal, inguinal, and right lymphatic duct, are not relevant to an arm massage as they are associated with other parts of the body.

The tibia and fibula are located below the knee and form the lower leg. The foot is made up of several bones, including the metatarsals and phalanges. When considering all these bones, the total number in one leg, including the foot, is 30.
