What is Stress?
accelerated heart beat; secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline
(Adrenal Medulla)
What does the parasympathetic nervous system do?
Rest & Repose (Peaceful). Ex. heart rate, pupils dilating, breathing
What does the sympathetic nervous system do?
Fight or Flight. Controls body's unconscious functions.

What is pain?
sensation, intense enough to induce emotional reaction, accompanied by an attempt to
withdraw from the stimulant.
what can cause more pain during a laser/electrolysis treatment?
,client consuming caffeine, benzedrine, & or nicotine
How big should the treatment area be when you perform electrolysis?
a quarter size
What is the Axon?
conducts impulses from the cell body to other cells; moves impulses AWAY from the cell
body
What is the Synapse?
gaps of spaces; exist between terminal branches, dendrites and between axons. Contains
a liquid = neurotransmitter = acetylcholine
What is the lymphatic system?
part of the immune system. Protects against infection. Sifts out impurities in the body.
Vena Cava
in the right atrium - RA = largest vein in body
What vital role does the skin play?
maintaining body's temperature and homeostasis.

Basal Zone
live layer of dividing cells that continuously change and push upward.
(IBEC pg. 16)
Fiber made of protein that gives the skin its form and strength
Collegenous
(IBEC pg. 16)
Small cone-shaped indentation at the base of the hair follicle that fits into the hair bulb;
also called the hair papilla
Dermal Papilla
(IBEC pg. 16)
, the act of exfoliating dead skin cells
Desquamation
(IBEC pg. 16)
products that fall between the categories of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and that
generally have a higher level of absorption than standard cosmetics
Cosmeceuticals
