Question
Answer

🗑
Alopecia Totalis   Total loss of scalp hair.  
🗑
Alopecia Universalis   Complete loss of body hair.  
🗑
Amino Acids   Units that are joined together end to end like pop beads by strong, chemical peptide bonds end bonds) to form the polypeptide chains that comprise proteins.  
🗑
Anagen Phase   Also known as growth phase; phase during which new hair is produced.  
🗑
Androgenic alopecia   Also known as androgenetic alopecia; hair loss characterized by miniaturization of terminal hair that is converted to vellus hair; in men, it is known as male pattern baldness.  
🗑
Canities   Technical term for gray hair; results from loss of hair's natural melanin pigment.  
🗑
Carbuncle   Inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue caused by staphylococci; similar to a furuncle but larger.  
🗑
Catagen Phase   The brief transition period between the growth and resting phases of a hair follicle. It signals the end of the growth phase.  
🗑
COHNS Elements   The five elements- carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfu- that make up human hair, skin, tissue, and nails.  
🗑
Cortex   Middle layer of hair; a fibrous protein core formed by enlongated cells containing melanin pigments.  
🗑
Cowlick   Tuft of hair that stands straight up.  
🗑
Cysteine   An amino acid joined with another cysteine amino acid to create cycsteine amino acid.  
🗑
Cystine   An amino acid that joins together two peptide strands.  
🗑
Disulfide Bond   Strong chemical side bond that joins the sulfur atoms of two neighboring cysteine amino acids to create one cystine, which joins together two polypeptide strands like rungs on a ladder.  
🗑
Fragilitas Crinium   Technical term for brittle hair.  
🗑
Furuncle   Biol; acute, localized bacterial infection of the hair follicle that produces constant pain.  
🗑
Hair Bulb   Lowest part of a hair strand; the thickened, club-shaped structure that forms the lowest part of hair root.  
🗑
Hair Cuticle   Outermost layer of hair; consisting of a single, overlapping layer of transsparent, scale-like cells that look like shingles on a roof.  
🗑
Hair Density   The number of individual hair strands on 1 square inch (2.5 square centimeters) of scalp  
🗑
Hair Elasticity   Ability of the hair to stretch and return to its original length without breaking.  
🗑
Hair Follicle   The tube-like depression or pocket in the skin or scalp that contains the hair root.  
🗑
Hair Porosity   Ability of the hair to absorb moisture.  
🗑
Hair Root   The part of the hair located below the surface of the epidermis.  
🗑
Hair Shaft   The portion of the hair that projects above the epidermis.  
🗑
Hair Stream   Hair flowing in the same direction, resulting from follicles sloping in the same direction.  
🗑
Hair Texture   Thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand.  
🗑
Helix   Spiral shape of a coiled protein created by polypeptide chains that intertwine with each other  
🗑
Hydrogen Bond   A weak, physical, cross-link side bond that is easily broken by water or heat.  
🗑
Hydrophilic   Easily aborbs moisture; in chemistry terma, capable of combining with or attracting water (water-loving)  
🗑
Hydrophobic   Naturally resistant to being penetrated by moisture.  
🗑
Hypertrichosis   Also known as hirsuties; condition of abnormal growth of hair, characterized by the growth of terminal hair in areas of the body that normally grow only vellus hair.  
🗑
Keratinization   Process by which newly formed cells in the hair bulb mature, fill with kertin, move upward, lose their nucleus, and die.  
🗑
Lanthionine Bonds   The bonds created disulfide bonds are broken by hydroxide chemical hair relaxers afterthe relaxeris rinsed from the hair.  
🗑
Malassezia   Naturally occurring fungus that is present on all human skin, but is responsible for dandruff when it grows out of control.  
🗑
Medulla   Innermost layer of the hair that is composed of round cells; often absent in fine and naturally blond hair.  
🗑
Monilethrix   Technical term for beaded hair.  
🗑
Pediculosis Capitis   Infestation of the hair and scalp with head lice.  
🗑
Peptide Bond   Also known as an end bond; chemical bond that joins amino acids to each other, end to end, to form a polypeptide chain.  
🗑
Pityriasis   Technical term for dandruff; characterized by excessive production and accumulation of skin cells.  
🗑
Pityriasis Captis Simplex   Technical term for classic dandruff; characterized by scalp irritation, large flakes, and itchy scalp.  
🗑
Pityriasis Steatoides   Severe case of dandruff characterized by an accumulation of greasy or waxy scales mixed with sebum, that stick to the scalp in crusts.  
🗑
Polypeptide Chain   A long chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.  
🗑
Postpartum Alopecia   Temporary hair loss experienced at the conclusion of a pregnancy.  
🗑
Proteins   Long, coiled complex polypeptides made of amino acids.  
🗑
Ringed Hair   Variety of canities characterized by alternating bands of gray and pigmented hair throughout the length of the hair strand.  
🗑
Salt Bond   A weak, physical, cross-link side bond between adjacent polypeptide chains.  
🗑
Scutula   Dry, sulfur-yellow, cup-like crusts on the scalp in tinea favosa or tinea favus.  
🗑
Side Bonds   Bondsthat cross-link the polypeptide chains together and are responsible for the extreme strength and elasticity of human hair.  
🗑
Telogen Phase   Also known as resting phase; the final phase in the hair cycle that lasts until the fully grown hair is shed.  
🗑
Terminal Hair   Long, Coarse, pigmented hair found on the scalp legs, arms, and bodies of males and females.
