Revision Flashcards
Name the six facial lymph nodes
Submental nodes Supraclavicular nodes Cervical nodes Submandibular nodes Parotid nodes Occipital node
Voluntary muscle is striated due to the
actin and myosin filaments.
The principle functions of the muscular system are to
maintain posture and produce movement.
White nodules found around the eyes and above the cheekbone area, especially on dry skin, are called
milia
African Caribbean skin has a
thicker epidermis which scars easily
If a client is taking medication such as Roaccutane, they will be prevented from having a facial electrotherapy treatment as the side effects include
thinning and sensitising of the skin
Clinical waste should be placed in a
yellow sealed bag which is collected by a special carrier
A direct high frequency treatment is beneficial for
oily and acne skin types because it destroys bacteria and promotes healing of blemishes pain
Contusions that are bluish or purple in colour that appear on the skin when capillaries in the dermis are damaged are known as
bruises, and will restrict treatment
The electro muscle stimulator (EMS) machine is used to
improve the contours of the face.
Oil should be applied when using a lymphatic drainage machine as it
allows slip and glide and improves skin condition.
The direct high frequency machine uses an alternating current of around
250,000Hz in order to produce heat in the superficial tissues
The effect at the cathode when applying a desincrustation solution is to
saponify sebum.
What should you do when a client experiences a metallic taste in their mouth during an iontophoresis treatment?
turn down the intensity slightly to suit the client’s tolerance.
Aftercare advice following an electro muscle stimulator (EMS) treatment for a client with a mature skin should include
Facial exercise
Brown patches on the forehead and cheek areas that are triggered by hormonal changes is a condition known as
chloasma
Herpes simplex can be recognised by
fluid-filled blisters that break open leaving scabs
An oily skin type can be recognised by
shiny appearance with slight thickening, a coarse texture, enlarged pores, congestion and comedones
The effect smoking has on the underlying structures of the skin is that
that the amount of oxygen and nutrients to cells is decreased.
Collagen is responsible for
maintaining the growth and repair of the skin.
The palatine bones form
the floor and the walls of the nose and the roof of the mouth.
The functions of bones include
protection, support and red blood cell production.
Bone is made up of
porous connective tissue
The autonomic nervous system enables organs to function
without conscious effort.
The part of the brain that controls the centre of balance is the
cerebellum
The functions of blood are
protection, heat regulation, clotting and transportation.
To carry blood away from the heart under pressure
arteries have thick muscular and very elastic walls.
The lymphatic system performs the functions of
fighting infection, distributes fluid and transports fats. Including fat soluble vitamins A,D,E &K
A lymph node is composed of a
a fibrous outer capsule with trabeculae dividing the node into sections.
What does Zygomaticus do?
move the mouth corners up and outward when we smile
What does the Buccinator muscle do?
holds the cheek to the teeth and assists with chewing
What does the Orbicularis oris muscle do?
control the shape and movements of the lips
What does the frontalis do?
elevate the eyebrows
What does the Masseter muscle do?
responsible for the action of mastication (chewing). When the masseter contracts it causes powerful elevation of the mandible causing the mouth to close.
What does the mentalis muscle do?
provides stability to the lower lip to allow it to pout
What does the Levator labii superioris muscle do?
elevation of the upper lip
The diagastric muscle helps to
swallow and move the tounge
The skin inhibits the growth of bacteria by
forming the acid mantle.
The protein formed in the dermis
Is collagen
Muscles of mastication allow you to
Chew
Voluntary muscle is used for
Facial expression
The type of current a galvanic unit produces is a
Direct current
High frequency machines operate on a
low power oscillating current.
Some of the effects does UV exposure has on the skin are that
skin proteins and enzymes are broken down, the cellular structure is damaged which can result in abnormal structures.
Overexposure to ultraviolet rays can prematurely age the skin by
damaging the protein fibres in the dermis.
A dehydrated skin can be recognised by a
fine orange-peel effect and superficial flaking
A pacemaker is contra-indicated to electrical treatments because
electric current could cause interference with the rhythm of the pacemaker
Dermal fillers may restrict the service if the client
recently had an injection as electrical treatments could cause displacement of the fillers.
Collagen is responsible for maintaining the
growth and repair of the skin.
The basic structure of the CNS is composed of the
brain and spinal cord and these l structures are protected by cerebrospinal fluid and tissue coverings called meninges.
The main function of the nervous system is to
process and gather information.
The functions of Capillaries is to
carry substances between the blood and cells.
The lymphatic system is present throughout the body and carries a colourless fluid called
Lymph
Lymph is similar in composition to blood plasma and is derived from blood plasma as fluids pass through
the capillary walls at the arterial end.
When interstitial fluid accumulates,
it is transported and removed by very small lymphatic vessels and returned to the blood.
