Question	Answer
The scientific study of hair, its diseases, and care is called	trichology
The follicle, bulb, papilla, arrector pili muscle, and subsceous glands are main structure of the	hair root
The tubelike depression or pocket on the skin or scalp that contains the hair root is the	follicle
The follicle extends downward from the epidermis, where it surrounds the	dermal papilla
A small, cone-shaped area at the base of the hair follicle that fits into the hair bulb is the	dermal papilla
A tiny, involuntary muscle fiber inserted in the base of the hair follicle is the	arrector pili
An oily substance secreted from the sebaceous glands is	sebum
The overlapping layer of hair with transparent, scalelike cells is the	cuticle
Swelling the hair raises the cuticle layer and allows for	penetration
For chemicals to penetrate a healthy cuticle hair layer they must	have an alkaline pH
The fibrous protein core of the hair, formed by elongated cells containing melanin pigment, is the	cortex layer
The medulla is the innermost layer of the hair is composed of	round cells
Hair is composed of a protein that grows from cells originating within the	hair follicle
The process by which living cells mature and begin their journey up the hair shaft is	keratinization
The five main elements that make up the chemical composition of human hair	carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur
The chemical bonds that hold together the amino acid molecules are	peptide bonds
The end bon is also known as a	peptide bond
When peptide bonds hold together a very long chain of amino acids, it is called a	polypeptide chain
The three types of cross-links that form the bonds between the polypeptide chains are hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and	disulfide bonds
A weak type of physical side bond that is easily broken by water or heat is a	hydrogen bond
A salt bond is easily broken with the use of	strong alkaline or acidic solutions
Bonds that must be chemically treated separated are	disulfide bonds
Hydrogen chemical hair relaxers break disulfide bonds and during rinsing convert them to	lanthionine bonds
Pattern of extremely curly hair grows	in long twisted spirals
Four important factors to consider in hair analysis are	texture, porosity, elasticity, and density
The thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand is the	hair texture
The measurement of individual hair strands on one square inch of the scalp is	hair density
The ability of the hair to absorb water or oil is	porosity
Chemical services performed on hair with low porosity require	more alkaline solutions
Hair with high porosity is often the result of	over processing
The ability of the hair to stretch and return without breaking is	elasticity
Wet hair with normal elasticity will stretch up to	50 percent
Dry hair and scalp can be caused	inactive sebaceous glands
Oily scalp and hair can be treated by properly shampooing with	normalizing shampoo
Hair that is not pigmented and almost never has a medulla is	vellus
Long, soft hair found on the scalp, legs, arms, and bodies of males and females is	terminal
The phases of hair growth are anagen, catagen, and	telogen
The growth phase where new hair is produced is	anagen
The average growth of healthy scalp hair is	one inch per month
The final or resting phase in the hair growth cycle is	telogen stage
Two products approved by the fda to stimulate hair growth and allowed for sale in the US are	minoxidil and finasteride
The technical term for gray hair	cantities
A variety of cantities characterized by alternating bands of gray and pigmented hair is	ringed hair
A condition of abnormal hair growth on area of the body	hypertrichosis
Trichorrhexis nodosa is characterized by brittleness of the hair and formulation of	swellings along the hair shaft
The technical term used to describe beaded hair is	monilethrix
The medical term for dandruff is	pityriasis
The medical term used to describe a fungal organism characterized by itching, scales, and painful circular lesions is	tinea
the type of fungal infection characterized by red papules at the opening of the hair follicles is	tinea capitis
The highly contagious skin disease caused by a mite parasite is	scabies
An acute localized bacterial infection of the hair follicle that produces constant pain	a furuncle
And inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue caused by staphylococci is	a carbuncle
