Cosmetology General Anatomy and
Physiology Questions & correct
answers.
Cosmetology is primarily limited to: ANS - the skin, muscles, nerves, circulatory
system, and bones of the face, neck, head, shoulders, arms, hands, lower legs, and feet
anatomy ANS - the study of the human body structures that can be seen with the
naked eye and how the body parts are organized; also known as the science of the
structure of organisms or of their parts
physiology ANS - study of the functions and activities performed by the body's
structures; ending in -ology means "study of"
histology ANS - also known as microscopic anatomy; the study of tiny structures found
in living tissues
the basic unit of all living things ANS - cells
protoplasm ANS - a colorless jelly-like substance found inside cells in which food
elements such as proteins, fats, carbs, mineral salts, and water are present; cells of all
living things are composed of these
nucleus ANS - dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell; plays an
important part in cell reproduction and metabolism
cytoplasm ANS - protoplasm of the cell, except for the protoplasm in the nucleus, that
surrounds the nucleus; it is the watery fluid that cells need for growth, reproduction, and
self-repair
cell membrane ANS - the cell part that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble
substances to enter and leave the cell
occurs when two cells divide into 2 identical cells called daughter cells ANS - mitosis
centrioles ANS - two small structures near the nucleus that move to each side during
the mitosis process to help divide the cell
, cells will grow and reproduce if: ANS - favorable conditions include an adequate supply
of food, oxygen, and water; suitable temperatures; and the ability to eliminate waste
cells will die if: ANS - unfavorable conditions include toxins, disease, and injury
chemical process that takes place in living organisms, through which cells are nourished
and carry out their activities; has 2 phases ANS - metabolism
anabolism ANS - process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones; during this
process the body stores water, food, and oxygen
catabolism ANS - involves the breaking down of complex compounds within the cells
into smaller ones; releases energy that has been stored
collection of similar cells that perform a particular function ANS - tissue
connective tissue ANS - fibrous tissue that binds together, protects, and supports the
various parts of the body; examples: bone, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, blood, lymph
and adipose tissue
adipose tissue ANS - technical term for fat; gives smoothness and contour to the body
epithelial tissue ANS - protective covering on body surfaces, such as skin, mucous
membranes, the tissue inside the mouth, lining of the heart, digestive and respiratory
organs, and the glands
muscle tissue ANS - contracts and moves various parts of the body
nerve tissue ANS - carries messages to and from the brain and controls and
coordinates all bodily functions
structures composed of specialized tissues designed to perform specific functions in
plants and animals ANS - organs
body systems ANS - groups of body organs acting together to perform one or more
functions (there are a total of 9 major ones in the body)
forms the physical foundation of the body and is composed of 206 bones ANS -
skeletal system
osteology ANS - study of the anatomy, structure and function of the bones
what is the hardest tissue of the body with the exception of the tissue that forms the
major part of teeth ANS - bone
