Chapter 7 hair and scalp properties
Cima Milady questions and answers
Side bonds - correct answer ✔✔Bonds that cross-link the polypeptide chains and are
responsible for the extreme strength and elasticity of human hair; account for about one-third
of hairs overall strength
Wave pattern - correct answer ✔✔Amount of movement or shape of the hair strand; described
as straight, wavy, curly, or coily
Cartagena phase - correct answer ✔✔Brief transition period between the growth and resting
phases of a hair follicle; signals the end of the growth phase
hair density - correct answer ✔✔Measures the number of individual hair strands on 1 square
inch (2.5 square centimeters) of scalp
Keratinization - correct answer ✔✔Process by which newly formed cells in the hair bulb mature,
fill with keratin, move upward, lose their nucleus, and die
terminal hair - correct answer ✔✔Long, coarse, pigmented hair found on the scalp, legs, arms,
and body
Pheomelanin - correct answer ✔✔Yellow to red pigment found in natural blonde to red shades
if hair
Cysteine - correct answer ✔✔Amino acid with a sulfur (s) that joins together two peptide
strands
, polypeptide chain - correct answer ✔✔long chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
Peptide bonds - correct answer ✔✔Also known as end bonds; chemical bonds that join amino
acids together, end to end in long chains, to form polypeptide chain
hair texture - correct answer ✔✔Thickness or diameter of the individual hair strand
Whorl - correct answer ✔✔Occurs when hair leaves the follicles at an angle; the hair grows in a
circular pattern on the crown of the head
COHNS elements - correct answer ✔✔the five elements- carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen
and sulfur- that make up human hair, skin, tissue, and nails
arrector pili muscle - correct answer ✔✔Small involuntary muscle in the dermis that attaches to
the hair follicle; contraction of the muscle caused hair to stand, causing goosebumps
Eumelanin - correct answer ✔✔consists of brown and black pigment and is the predominant
pigment in black and brunette hair
Lanugo hair - correct answer ✔✔short, fine hair that covers a fetus and generally sheds within a
few weeks of birth
Dermal papilla - correct answer ✔✔Come-shaped elevation found at the base of the bulb
(plural: dermal papillae)
hair bulb - correct answer ✔✔found at base of the follicle; has a bulb shape and contains living
cells that will form the hair strand
