Oily skin has a tendency towards what?
Correct Answer
A. Papules, Pustules, Comedones and Whiteheads
Explanation
Oily skin has a tendency towards developing papules, pustules, comedones, and whiteheads. These are common skin conditions associated with excess oil production, which can clog the pores and lead to the formation of these blemishes.
5.
What will you often find with dry skin?
Correct Answer
D. Coarse thin skin and Milia
Explanation
Dry skin often leads to the development of coarse, thin skin and milia. Dry skin lacks moisture, causing it to become flaky and rough. This can result in the skin becoming thinner and more fragile over time. Additionally, dry skin is more prone to developing milia, which are small, white bumps that occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Therefore, coarse thin skin and milia are commonly associated with dry skin.
6.
What characteristics does dry skin have?
Correct Answer
A. Orange peel effect
Explanation
Dry skin is characterized by a rough and uneven texture, similar to the surface of an orange peel. This is due to the lack of moisture and natural oils in the skin, which leads to flakiness and tightness. The orange peel effect is a common symptom of dry skin and can be caused by various factors such as cold weather, excessive bathing, or certain skin conditions.
7.
Which of the following are Melanin Pigment?
Correct Answer
D. Eumelanin, pHaeomelanin
Explanation
Eumelanin and Phaeomelanin are both types of melanin pigment. Melanin is responsible for determining the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. Eumelanin is a brown-black pigment, while Phaeomelanin is a yellow-red pigment. These pigments are produced by special cells called melanocytes, which are located in the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) and the hair follicles. The other options listed in the question, such as Papillary, Reticular, Apocrine, and Eccrine, are not related to melanin pigment.
8.
What of the following contains the most melanin?
Correct Answer
D. African Carribbean
Explanation
African Carribbean individuals typically have higher levels of melanin compared to individuals of Asian, Oriental, or Caucasian descent. Melanin is responsible for determining the color of our skin, hair, and eyes, and it provides protection against harmful UV radiation from the sun. People with darker skin tones typically have higher melanin levels, which helps to absorb and dissipate UV radiation more effectively. This is an adaptive trait that developed in populations living in regions with higher sun exposure.
9.
Which of the following are used when one is talking, walking or writing?
Correct Answer
C. Voluntary Muscles
Explanation
Voluntary muscles are used when one is talking, walking, or writing. These muscles are under conscious control and can be voluntarily activated or relaxed by the individual. Talking involves the use of muscles in the mouth, throat, and vocal cords. Walking requires the activation of muscles in the legs and feet to move and maintain balance. Writing involves the use of muscles in the hand, wrist, and arm to hold and manipulate the writing instrument. Therefore, voluntary muscles are the correct answer for this question.
10.
What muscles can we not control?
Correct Answer
B. Involuntary Muscles
Explanation
Involuntary muscles are the muscles that we cannot control consciously. These muscles are responsible for various automatic bodily functions such as digestion, breathing, and heart contractions. Unlike voluntary muscles, which we can control and move at will, involuntary muscles function independently without our conscious effort. Therefore, the correct answer is "Involuntary Muscles".
11.
Which type of muscle is found in the heart?
Correct Answer
D. Cardiac
Explanation
Cardiac muscle is the correct answer because it is the type of muscle found in the heart. Unlike skeletal muscle, which is voluntary and can be consciously controlled, cardiac muscle is involuntary and contracts rhythmically to pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle is specifically adapted to meet the demands of the heart, allowing it to contract efficiently and continuously without fatigue.
12.
Each muscle has an - at one end and - at the other end
Correct Answer
Origin, Instertion
Explanation
Each muscle in the human body has an origin and an insertion point. The origin is the fixed attachment point of the muscle, usually located closer to the body's midline. The insertion is the movable attachment point, usually located further away from the body's midline. These two points determine the range of motion and action of the muscle. The origin remains relatively stable during muscle contraction, while the insertion moves towards the origin, causing the desired movement.
13.
How many bones are in our Cranium?
Correct Answer
D. 8
Explanation
The cranium, also known as the skull, is made up of 8 bones. These bones include the frontal bone, parietal bones (2), temporal bones (2), occipital bone, sphenoid bone, and ethmoid bone. These bones protect the brain and provide structure to the head.
14.
Which of the following will contra-indicate facial treatments?
Correct Answer
B. Conjuntivitus
Explanation
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin transparent layer of tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It is a highly contagious condition that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergies. Facial treatments involve applying products and techniques to the face, which may come in contact with the eyes. Since conjunctivitis is contagious and can cause discomfort and irritation to the eyes, it would be contra-indicated to perform facial treatments on someone with this condition to prevent further spread of the infection and potential harm to the client.
15.
Ageing of the skin is mainly due to?
Correct Answer
D. Degeneration of elastin and collagen
Explanation
The correct answer is degeneration of elastin and collagen. As we age, the production of elastin and collagen in our skin decreases, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness. Elastin and collagen are proteins that provide structure and support to the skin, helping it to stay smooth and supple. When these proteins break down and degenerate, the skin becomes thinner, drier, and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. This process is a natural part of aging and is influenced by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices.
16.
The muscle that is responsible for winking is called?
Correct Answer
A. Orbicularis Oculi
Explanation
The muscle responsible for winking is called the Orbicularis Oculi. This muscle encircles the eye and controls the closing and squinting movements of the eyelids. It is composed of two parts, the palpebral part which closes the eyelids gently, and the orbital part which tightly closes the eyelids. When the Orbicularis Oculi contracts, it causes the eyelids to close, allowing for a wink.
17.
Which one of the following muscles produces the action of blowing, and compresses the cheeks?
Correct Answer
A. Buccinator
Explanation
The muscle that produces the action of blowing and compresses the cheeks is the buccinator. This muscle is located in the cheek area and is responsible for aiding in the process of blowing air out of the mouth, as well as keeping the cheeks taut during activities such as blowing up a balloon or playing a wind instrument. The other muscles listed, temporalis, risorius, and mentalis, are not directly involved in the action of blowing and compressing the cheeks.
18.
Which of the following bones forms part of the cranium
Correct Answer
C. Parietal
Explanation
The parietal bone is one of the bones that form the cranium. It is a paired bone located on the upper sides and roof of the skull. It forms the majority of the sides and top of the cranium, helping to protect the brain. The palatine bone, lacrimal bone, and zygomatic bone are not part of the cranium. The palatine bone forms part of the hard palate in the mouth, the lacrimal bone forms part of the eye socket, and the zygomatic bone forms part of the cheekbone.
19.
Which one of the following is a contra-indication to a steaming treatment?
Correct Answer
C. Rosacea
Explanation
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition characterized by redness, flushing, and sometimes the appearance of small, red, pus-filled bumps on the face. It is a contra-indication to a steaming treatment because the heat from the steam can exacerbate the symptoms of rosacea, causing increased redness, inflammation, and irritation. Steaming can also dilate blood vessels, which can worsen the flushing associated with rosacea. Therefore, individuals with rosacea should avoid steaming treatments to prevent further irritation and discomfort.
20.
Which one of the following is a characteristic of dry skin?
Correct Answer
D. Fine Textured Skin
Explanation
Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture and oil, which can result in a rough and flaky texture. Fine textured skin refers to skin that is smooth and has a refined appearance. This is often associated with dry skin because the lack of moisture can cause the skin to become thin and delicate, giving it a fine texture. Open pores, sallow skin tone, and thickened skin texture are not typically associated with dry skin.
21.
Which one of the following is not a function of the blood?
Correct Answer
A. Transportation of hormones
Explanation
Blood does not transport lymph. Lymph is a clear fluid that is transported through the lymphatic system, not the bloodstream. The main functions of blood include transportation of oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, as well as waste removal, regulation of body temperature, and immune system support.
22.
Which one of the following massage mediums is most suitable for dehydrated sun damaged tissues?
Correct Answer
D. A massage oil
Explanation
Massage oil is the most suitable massage medium for dehydrated sun damaged tissues because it provides deep hydration and nourishment to the skin. The oil helps to replenish the moisture lost due to sun damage and promotes healing. It also helps in improving the elasticity of the skin and reducing dryness. Additionally, the smooth and lubricating texture of the oil allows for a gentle and soothing massage, which is beneficial for the damaged tissues.
23.
The layer of the dermis which contains collagen fibres is known as the:
Correct Answer
C. Reticular
Explanation
The correct answer is "Reticular". The reticular layer of the dermis is the deepest layer, located beneath the papillary layer. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue that contains collagen and elastic fibers. These collagen fibers provide strength and support to the skin, contributing to its overall structure and elasticity.
