Prone - lying face down / lying on abdomen
Describe the anatomical term Lateral.
Lateral - Towards the outer side of the body / the side of the body.
Explain the effects of UV radiation on the skin.
- UV radiation penetrates the skin, which stimulates mitosis causes premature ageing of the skin / wrinkles and fine lines.
- More melanocytes are produce, which injects more melanin into the surrounding cells to absorb harmful ray.
- Excessive exposure damage the underlying tissue causing redness/dry dehydrated skin and increase risk of cancer.
Explain how joint movement affects the synovial joint.
Increases flexibility and mobility / Range of movement by improving the flow of synovial fluid, within the joint capsule. Stimulates blood flow to the joint.
State the bones located in the shoulder girdle.
Clavicle - scapula
Stated the muscle responsible for the follow movement.
Flex the hip and internally rotate the knee.
Sartorius
Stated the muscle responsible for the follow movement.
Abduct and rotate the hip.
Gluteus minimus/gluteus medius
Stated the muscle responsible for the follow movement.
Flex the elbow, supination and pronation of the forearm.
Brachioradialis
Explain how the pulmonary circulation system differ from systemic circulation system.
- Pulmonary
Pulmonary arteries operate under high pressure transporting blood from the heart to lungs removing oxygenated blood more quickly from the body. - systemic
Systemic circulation carries oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the body and oxygenated blood from body to heart.
State the location of thymus gland.
Behind the sternum
Describe the function of the thoracic duct.
Collects lymph from the left side of the head, neck, left arm, lower limbs and abdomen.
Drains lymph into the left subclavian vein
Describe one cause and one symptom of Bell’s Palsy.
Damage to the facial nerves/nerve endings.
Paralysis or severe weakness which causes the facial muscle on the side of the face affected to droop.
Explain how external respiration physically affects the body.
- The pressure inside the lungs decreases, drawing air into the nasal cavity/mouth.
- During the drawing in of air increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity.
- The intercostal muscles contract, drawing the ribs upwards and outwards, changing the pressure within the lungs.
- The oxygen diffuses across the alveolar walls into the blood capillaries where it is transported to the cells of the body.
- From the cells waste carbon dioxide in taken from the cell of the body via the blood vessel back to the aveoli.
- The pressure in the lungs increase, pushing the air up and out through the nasal cavity/mouth.
- Breathing oxygen in through the nose/mouth where it is moistened/filtered.
- Exhales air and the diaphragm relaxes.
State the advice that should be given to a client who experiences a headache following a body massage.
Sip of water and relax/rest, avoid for 24hrs heat treatment/high temperature, stay away from bright lights and apply cold compress.
Explain why it is important for a therapist to maintain good posture and apply techniques correctly when carrying out a massage.
- Using the correct massage techniques will reduce the risk of therapist repetitive strain injury and discomfort to the client, could lose salon business.
- Correct posture will reduce the risk of fatigue. Will hep the therapist in applying smooth flowing massage movements.
- Good posture from the therapist will help maintain breathing techniques.
Explain why the negative electrode is used on an oily skin during a desincrustation treatment.
- Surface sebum is softened and broken down and hardened comedones are softened.
- Tight pores on the skin’s surface a relaxed/open making extraction easier.
- Exfoliates the surface of the skin removing debris and dead skin cells.
- Breaks down the acid mantle which aids product absorption.
State four way that a salon ca promote sustainability and environmental awareness when providing body electrical treatment.
- Effective use of products: Minimise reusable.
- Reduce water consumption during treatments.
- Recycle packaging.
- Reuse packaging.
- Switching machines and/or lighting when not in use.
- The use of disposable items where appropriate.
