Hair Cutting Flashcards
Infection
Is the invasion of the body tissues by disease-causing bacteria or viruses
Virus
Submicroscopic, parasitic particle that causes disease
Immunity
Body ability to fight or defend against infections and disease
Contamination
Presence of unclean materials or tools left on surface
Decontamination
Is the removal of any infectious materials on tool or surfaces by following all guidelines
1. Disinfecting 2. Sterilization
Cleaning
Soap and water
Antiseptic
Agent that prevents or reduces infection by eliminating or decreasing the growth of microorganisms
Non-porous
Describe an item made or constructed of materials that are not permeable by water air or other fluids
Allergy
Immune response or reaction to substances that are usually not harmful
Sterilization
Destruction of all living microorganism on an object or surface
Broad-spectrum
Disinfectants that destroy viruses, fungi, and bacteria
Disorder
Ailment or illness that disrupts or normal function of health usually requiring special scalp or hair care from either licensed professional or medical professional
Contagious also known as communicable
Transferred from one person to another by contact
Disease
Bacterial invasion of the body that disrupts a normal function of health generally characterized by redness pus or fever
Bacteria
One-called microorganisms that are classified into two categories
Non-pathogenic
Bacteria are not harmful but actually helpful
Pathogenic
Bacteria are harmful and cause disease
Bloodborne pathogens
Infectious pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood or bodily fluids
Parasites
Pathogenic bacteria which live on or inside another organism called the host
Parasitic disease
Cause by parasites such as head lice and itch mite
Cocci
Circular-shaped bacteria that produce or in clusters can produce strep throat or blood poisoning
Staphylococci
Grow in clusters are pus-forming and produce boil pustules and abscesses
Fur uncle
Boil or abscess of the skin located in the hair follicle
Carbuncle
Same as furuncle but larger
Diplococci
Grow in pairs are spherical-shaped and cause pneumonia
Streptococci
Grow in curved lines shaped into chains are pus-forming and produce strep throats and blood poisoning
Bacilli
Long rod-shaped bacteria that cause tetanus lockjaw
Spirilla
Spiral-shaped bacteria cause syphilis and Lyme disease
Cuticle
The tough outer protective covering
Dermal papillae
Small, cone-shaped elevations that contain a mass of blood and nerves located directly under the hollowed area of the hair bulb
Hair bulb
S rounded club shaped part at the very end of the root
Hair follicle
Tube like depression or pocket in the skin that contains the hair root
Arrextor pili muscle
Small involuntary muscle located along the side of the hair follicle
Keratinization
The process by which the newly formed cells in the hair bulb mature
Keratin
Living cells that start this whole process of hair growth are composed of a strong fibrous protein
Anagen
Period of active growth
Catagen
Period of breakdown and change
Telogen
Resting period before growth resumes
