What substance is generated by the negative pole during electrolysis? ✔✔
Answer: The chemical produced at the negative electrode is Sodium Hydroxide
(lye).
What is the definition of Iatric hirsutism? ✔✔ Answer: This refers to excessive
hair growth that occurs as a side effect of specific medical treatments or
medications.
Why must the indifferent electrode be larger than the needle in galvanic
electrolysis? ✔✔ Answer: A larger surface area is used to dilute the concentration
of caustic chemical byproducts, such as chlorine and hydrochloric acid, preventing
skin irritation.
What factor determines the density or concentration of the current? ✔✔
Answer: Current density is dictated by the specific surface area of the electrode
being used.

periods? ✔✔ Answer: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the disorder
characterized by hormonal imbalances and menstrual irregularities.
,What term describes hair growth that has no known medical or external cause?
✔✔ Answer: Hirsutism with an unidentifiable origin is classified as Idiopathic
hirsutism.
What is the physical shape of the thermolysis heating pattern around the
needle? ✔✔ Answer: The area of heat distribution created by a high-frequency
needle is shaped like a teardrop.

of the skin
Skin, hair, eyes -ANSWER ✔✔Where do you find melanin
Epidermis: Stratum Lucidum -ANSWER ✔✔In which layer of the skin is eleidin
found
Spinosum -ANSWER ✔✔What is the prickle cell layer of the skin
Dermis -ANSWER ✔✔What is also known as "true skin" or "cutis"
