AND 100% CORRECT WELL DETAILED
Desmosomes - ANSWER Intercellular junctions that provide strong adhesion between
cells. Gives mechanical strength to tissues.
acid mantle of skin - ANSWER AKA sebum, affects skin's pH. Serves as a protective
barrier to prevent bacteria from invading the skin.
Sebum - ANSWER Complex mixture of fatty substances that keeps the skin soft, supple
and pliable. This layer of ______ on the skin is AKA acid mantle & affects skin's pH level.
keratoma - ANSWER area of hardened skin, AKA Callus
pathogenic bacteria - ANSWER Disease producing bacteria - live everywhere, exist in
body
Universal Precautions - ANSWER Using consistent infection control procedures for all
clients
general practices during infection control - ANSWER handwashing, gloves + safety
glasses, disinfect implements to prevent cross contamination, gloves worn during waxing +
extraction
Sterilization - ANSWER destroys all small organisms, including bacterial spores which
neither sanitation nor disinfectant can kill. Only required for implements used for invasive
procedures that puncture skin.
1
,Disinfection - ANSWER Using products or methods that kill or destroy bacteria and a
broad spectrum of viruses but DONT kill bacterial spores.
Sanitation - ANSWER Physical removal of debris, which reduces the number of
microbes present. Removes organic matter (blood + skin particles) Product containing
Antiseptic is sanitation.
Infection control - ANSWER practices and procedures that prevent the spread of
infection
Local infection - ANSWER An infection, such as a pimple or abscess, that is confined to
a particular part of the body and appears as a lesion containing pus.
General infection - ANSWER Occurs when the circulatory system carries bacteria and
their toxins to all parts of the body.
using the same dirty implements - ANSWER How an esti can spread infection to non
infected area. Be aware when doing hand + foot treatments.
infection - ANSWER The growth of a parasitic organism within the body
heat sterilization - infection control method - ANSWER heat process that destroys all
microbial life, including bacterial endospores. (autoclaves, dryheat sterilizers, chemical-vapor
sterilizers) 320-375 degrees
chemical disinfection - ANSWER destroys, neutralizes, or Inhibits the growth of
disease-carrying microorganisms. Liquid, capsule or powder.
2
, infection control standards - ANSWER Prevent bacteria (microbes) from being
transmitted from one client to another - or to yourself + coworkers via use of dirty
implements
Microbiology - ANSWER The study of microorganisms
Parasitic Plants or Fungi - ANSWER Molds and yeast that produce contagious diseases.
(ringworm, nail fungus) can occur on natural or artificial nails + spread by improperly
disinfected implements
External parasites - ANSWER Organisms that grow and feed on other living organisms
called hosts (head lice, itch mites)
viruses estis need to take caution against - ANSWER HIV (human immunodeficiency) +
Hepatitis B (HBV)
Virus - ANSWER An extremely tiny parasite that can only reproduce if it is within the
living cells of a host.
spore forming stage - ANSWER some inactive bacteria enter this stage, making them
resistant to disinfectants, cold + heat.
Inactive Stage of bacteria (Spore-Forming Stage) - ANSWER Certain bacteria like
anthrax, and tetanus bacilli, coat themselves with wax-like outer shells. They are able to
withstand long periods of famine, dryness & unsuitable temperatures. This stage is called...
Active Stage of bacteria - ANSWER Bacteria reproduce and grow rapidly. Also known
as the vegetative stage
(Catch phrase: 'harvesting the growing vegetables')
