Which of the following is the largest bone of your hand?
- A.
Metacarpal bone
- B.
Humerus
- C.
Radius
- D.
Ulna
Correct Answer
C. RadiusExplanation
The largest bone in your hand is the radius bone. It is one of the two bones in the forearm, the other being the ulna. While the radius extends from the elbow to the wrist, it contributes to the structure of the hand by forming part of the wrist joint. However, if you're specifically referring to the bones within the hand itself, then the largest bone is the third metacarpal, which forms the middle finger.Rate this question:

The largest bone of the fourteen facial bone is...
- A.
Mandible bone
- B.
Temporal bone
- C.
Nasal bone
- D.

The skin is nourished by:
- A.
Bones
- B.
Blood & lymph
- C.
Cartilage
- D.
Blood & flesh
Correct Answer
B. Blood & lympHExplanation
The skin is nourished by blood and lymph. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, providing them with the necessary resources for growth and repair. Lymph, on the other hand, helps remove waste products and toxins from the skin, maintaining its health and vitality. Both blood and lymph play crucial roles in nourishing and maintaining the skin's overall well-being.Rate this question:

The pH point of 9 is how many times of pH 7?
- A.
100
- B.
200
- C.
300
- D.
400
Correct Answer
A. 100Explanation
A pH of 9 is 100 times more basic than a pH of 7. This is because the pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that each whole number increase or decrease on the scale represents a tenfold change in acidity or basicity. So, a pH of 9 is 10 times more basic than a pH of 8, and 100 times more basic than a pH of 7.Rate this question:

Abscesses (collection of pus) is an example of what infection?
- A.
Fungal infection
- B.
Local infection
- C.
Lung infection

- A.
Subclavian artery
- B.
Brachiocephalic artery
- C.
Carotid artery
- D.
Coronary artery
Correct Answer
C. Carotid arteryExplanation
The carotid artery is the main source of blood supply to the head, face, and neck. It is a major blood vessel that branches off from the aorta and provides oxygenated blood to the brain and other structures in the head and neck region. The carotid artery splits into two branches, the internal carotid artery and the external carotid artery, which further supply blood to different areas of the head and neck. The subclavian artery supplies blood to the upper extremities, the brachiocephalic artery supplies blood to the upper chest and arms, and the coronary artery supplies blood to the heart.Rate this question:

Titanium protects the skin by...
- A.
Refracting light
- B.
Reflecting light
- C.
Transmitting energy
- D.
Creating a new layer of skin
Correct Answer
B. Reflecting lightExplanation

Which of the epidermis layer compose cells that resemble granules filled with keratin?
- A.
Spinosum
- B.
Corneum
- C.
Granulosum
- D.
Germination
Correct Answer
C. GranulosumExplanation
The correct answer is granulosum because this layer of the epidermis is responsible for producing granules filled with keratin. These granules play a crucial role in the formation of the skin's barrier and help to protect the body from external factors such as moisture loss and pathogens. The granulosum layer is located above the basal layer and below the corneum layer in the epidermis.Rate this question:

Which layer of the epidermis penetrates light?
- A.
Subcutaneous
- B.
Lucidum
- C.
Granulosum
- D.
Corneum
Correct Answer
B. LucidumExplanation
The layer of the epidermis that penetrates light is the lucidum layer. This layer is found only in thick skin, such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It is translucent and allows light to pass through. The lucidum layer is composed of dead skin cells that have lost their nuclei and other organelles, making it clear and providing a barrier against external factors.Rate this question:

Which layer of the epidermis does cells division occur?
- A.
Germinativum
- B.
Corneum
- C.
Spinosum
- D.
Lucidum
Correct Answer
A. GerminativumExplanation
Cell division occurs in the germinativum layer of the epidermis. This layer is also known as the basal layer and is responsible for producing new cells that eventually move to the surface of the skin. The germinativum layer is rich in stem cells that continuously divide and differentiate into keratinocytes, the main type of cell found in the epidermis. These new cells then move upwards through the other layers of the epidermis, eventually reaching the corneum layer where they are shed from the skin's surface.Rate this question:

Which layer of the skin is most exfoliated off?
- A.
Corneum
- B.
Lucidum
- C.
Subcutaneous
- D.
Granulosum
Correct Answer
A. CorneumExplanation
The corneum layer of the skin is the outermost layer and is composed of dead skin cells that are constantly being shed and replaced. This layer is most susceptible to exfoliation, as it is the layer that is sloughed off during processes such as scrubbing or using exfoliating products. The other layers mentioned (lucidum, granulosum, subcutaneous) are deeper layers of the skin and are not typically exfoliated off.Rate this question:

Sudoriferous glands (sweat gland) excrete...
- A.
Pus
- B.
Water & lactic acid
- C.
Blood
- D.

Correct Answer
B. Water & lactic acidExplanation
Sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, are responsible for excreting water and lactic acid. Sweat glands are found all over the body and play a crucial role in regulating body temperature. When the body gets overheated, these glands produce sweat, which is primarily composed of water and lactic acid. Water helps to cool down the body by evaporating from the skin surface, while lactic acid helps to maintain the pH balance of the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is water and lactic acid.Rate this question:

Since light skin is sensitive to waxing, how would darker skin react to the procedure?
- A.
Acne
- B.
Blotchy skin
- C.
A little or no effect
- D.
Infection
Correct Answer
C. A little or no effectExplanation
Darker skin would have a little or no effect when subjected to waxing. This is because darker skin has more melanin, which provides natural protection against the irritation caused by waxing. The higher melanin content also makes darker skin less prone to developing acne or infections after the procedure. Therefore, the waxing procedure is generally well-tolerated by individuals with darker skin.Rate this question:

Inhibit aging without sun exposure is...
- A.
Low
- B.
Moderate
- C.
High
- D.
Nothing
Correct Answer
B. ModerateExplanation
The term "inhibit aging without sun exposure" suggests that there is a way to slow down the aging process without being exposed to the sun. The word "moderate" implies that there is a moderate level of effectiveness in inhibiting aging without sun exposure. This means that while it may have some positive effects, it may not be as powerful as a high level of inhibition. Therefore, the answer "moderate" indicates that inhibiting aging without sun exposure can have some impact, but it may not be the most effective method.Rate this question:

What is the abnormal secretion from the sebaceous glands?
- A.
Hormones
- B.
Acne
- C.
Seborrhea
Correct Answer
C. SeborrheaExplanation
Seborrhea is the abnormal secretion from the sebaceous glands. It is a condition characterized by excessive production of sebum, an oily substance that moisturizes the skin. This abnormal secretion can lead to oily skin, clogged pores, and the development of acne. Hormones, on the other hand, play a role in regulating sebum production but are not the abnormal secretion itself. Acne is a skin condition that can be caused by seborrhea, but it is not the secretion itself.Rate this question:
