Questions and Answers Latest Updates
2024 GRADED A+
Bacteria - one celled microorganisms with both plant and animal characteristics
Viruses - microorganism capable of infecting almost all plants and animals, including
bacteria.
Parasites - plant or animal organisms that live on, or in, another living organism and
draw their nourishment from that organism. Must have a host to survive.
Immunity - ability of the body to destroy and resist infection
Sanitation - removing all visible dirt and debris
Sterilization - complete elimination of all microbial life, including spores. Only
necessary when instruments have come in contact with blood.
OSHA- Occupational Safety and Health Administration - regulates and enforces safety
and health standards to protect employees in the work place.
MSDS- Material Safety Data Sheet - Information about hazardous ingredients, safe
use and handling procedures, precautions to reduce the risk of harm and over
exposure, flammability and dada incase of fire, proper disposal guidelines and medical
information in case a reaction to product occurs.
EPA- Environmental Protection Agency - Licenses two types of disinfectants used in
salons; Tuberculocidal, and Hospital. Hospital products are safe for cleaning blood and
body fluids, Tuberculocidal disinfectants are proven to kill the bacteria that cause
tuberculosis, which is more difficult to kill.
FDA- Food and drug administration - Prohibits sale of antifungal products for finger
and toenails without a medical prescription.
Universal Precautions - a set of guidelines published by OSHA that require the
employer and the employee to assume that all human blood and body fluids are
infectious for bloodborne pathogens.
Cells - the basic units of all living thing, from bacteria to plants and animals, and
including human beings
, Protoplasm - colorless jelly like substance in cells in which food elements such as
protein, fats, carbohydrates, mineral salts and water are present
Nucleus - The dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell.
cytoplasm - All the protoplasm of a cell that surrounds the nucleus
Cell membrane - thin, flexible barrier that surrounds all cells; regulates what enters and
leaves the cell
Mitosis - The reproduction process in which cells divide into two identical cells called
daughter cells.
Metabolism - set of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks
down materials as it carries out its life processes
anabolism - Process of building up complex materials (proteins) from simple materials
Catabolism - breakdown of more complex substances into simpler ones with release of
energy
Tissue - group of similar cells that perform a particular function
Heart - Circulates the blood
Lungs - Supply Oxygen to the blood
Skin - forms external protective covering of the body
Skeletal system - the physical foundation of the body. It is composed of 206 bones that
vary in size and shame and are connected by moveable and immovable joints.
Circulatory system - body system consisting of the heart and blood vessels that
circulate blood through the body
Endocrine system - affects the growth, development, sexual activities, and health of
the entire body.
Excretory System - group of organs including the kidneys, liver, skin, large intestine
and lungs that purify the body by the elimination of waste matter
Integumentary System - Serves as a protective covering and helps in regulating the
body's temperature; consists of skin, accessory organs such as oil and sweat glands,
sensory receptors, hair, and nails.
