Study Notes
Infection Control and Symptoms
- Objective symptoms include inflammation, unlike subjective symptoms such as itching and pain.
- Infection control involves cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.
Infectious Diseases and Skin Types
- Personal service workers should be inoculated against Hepatitis B Virus.
- The four basic skin types are dry, oily, and combination; 'complex' is not a recognized type.
Skin Structures and Functions
- An open comedone is also known as a blackhead.
- Sebum is the secretion containing fatty substances produced by sebaceous glands.
- The stratum lucidum layer is present only on palms and soles where skin is thicker.
Skin Lesions and Bacteria
- Bulla refers to larger vesicles resulting from conditions like second-degree burns.
- Staphylococci are defined as a form of bacteria associated with highly contagious diseases.
Hair and Skin Anatomy
- The thickest skin is found on palms and soles, while hair follicles are affected by conditions like folliculitis.
- The epidermis is the skin's outer protective layer, while the dermal layer is referred to as "true skin."
Chemical and Color Principles
- Mixing primary colors (red, blue, yellow) produces secondary colors; combinations not classified as tertiary include blue-yellow.
- Peptide bonds are fundamental to protein structure, arising from the combination of amino acids.
Hygiene and Sanitation Practices
- Effective infection control methods include the use of EPA-registered disinfectants that are quick-acting.
- Regularly changing disinfectant solutions is essential for effective hygiene practices.
Immune System and Skin Conditions
- Immunity refers to the body’s ability to combat infectious agents.
- Dermatitis venenata is a condition characterized by skin irritation from contact with irritants.
Numerical Systems and Measurements
- A 20 volume hydrogen peroxide solution generally lightens hair by two levels.
- Proper handwashing includes lathering for at least 20 seconds, enhancing germ removal.
Skin Pigmentation and Disorders
- Conditions like vitiligo present as irregular patches of white skin lacking normal pigmentation.
- Acne is primarily an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands, showing the significance of glandular health in skin conditions.
Miscellaneous
- Excoriations are injuries to the epidermis, while keratinization refers to the process of living cells transforming into dead protein cells.
- The compound molecule results from two or more atoms bonded together, crucial in understanding chemical interactions.
Key Functions of Skin
- Sudoriferous glands are critical for regulating body temperature, maintaining it around 98.6°F (37°C).
- The conversion of living cells to dead protein cells through keratinization forms a protective layer, showcasing skin’s adaptive functions.
