MILADY COSMETOLOGY FINAL PAPER
2026 FULL Q&A STUDY GUIDE GRADED A+
◉Direct Transmission. Answer: Transmission of blood or body fluids
through touching (including shaking hands),kissing,coughing,
sneezing, and talking.
◉Indirect transmission. Answer: Transmission of blood or body
fluids through contact with an intermediate contaminated object,
such as a razor, extractor,nipper, or an environmental surface.
◉Infection. Answer: Invasion of body tissues by disease-causing
pathogens.
◉Germs. Answer: Nonscientific synonym for disease-producing
organs
◉Microorganism. Answer: Any organism of microscopic to
submicroscopic size.
◉Parasites. Answer: Organisms that grow,feed, and shelter on or in
another organism (referred to as the host),while contributing
,nothing to the survival of that organism. Parasites must have a host
to survive.
◉Toxins. Answer: Various poisonous substance produced by some
microorganisms (bacteria and viruses).
◉Virus. Answer: A parasitic submicroscopic particle that infects and
resides in cells of biological organisms. A virus is capable of
replication only though taking over the host cell's reproductive
function.
◉Cocci. Answer: Round shaped, alone
◉Staphylococci. Answer: Clusters like bunches of grapes, may not
cause infection in healthy humans. Causes pustules, and boils.
◉Streptococci. Answer: Pus-forming arranged in curved lines like
string of beads. Causes strep throat and blood poisoning.
◉Diplococci. Answer: Spherical bacteria that grow in pairs. Causes
pneumonia.
◉Bacilli. Answer: Short rod shaped. Causes tetanus,
lockjaw,tuberculosis, and diphtheria.Moves using flagella.
, ◉Spirilla. Answer: Spiral or corkscrew shaped bacteria. Causes
sexually transmitted disease, and syphilis.
Moves using flagella.
◉Active Stage of bacteria. Answer: Bacteria grow and reproduce in
warm, damp or dirty places.
◉Inactive or spore forming stage. Answer: During this stage bacteria
coat themselves with wax like outer shells. This helps them
withstand famine, dryness, and unsuitable temperatures.
◉MRSA. Answer: Occurs with persons with weakened immune
systems or people whom have undergone medical procedures. Signs
may be pimples, rashes, boils.
◉Quaternary ammonium compounds. Answer: Quats are
disinfectants that are very effective when used properly in the salon.
Formula contains anti-rust ingredients, so leaving tools in solution
for a prolonged period of time can cause dulling or damage.
(Barbicide)
◉Phenolic Disinfectants. Answer: Form of formaldehyde, high pH
and can damage skin or eyes. Known as carcinogens.
