Epidermal layer of cells, fat storage CORRECT ANSWERS: Hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) OIL BASED SKIN PRODUCTS (makeup) CORRECT ANSWERS: normal to dry skin Layers include keratinocytes, immune cells, intercellular fluids CORRECT ANSWERS: EPIDERMIS blend lighter shade foundation on tip of nose between eyes (makeup) CORRECT ANSWERS: Short nose Blood capillaries, nerve endings, sweat glands, hair follicles, other structures. CORRECT ANSWERS: DERMIS Appendage of the follicle lubricates skin, hair CORRECT ANSWERS: SEBACEOUS GLANDS It's the top, most outer layer of the epidermis. "the horny cells aka corneocytes- waterproof, protective cells, regenerates itself, detoxifies the body and responds to stimuli CORRECT ANSWERS: STRATUM CORNEUM Layer of epidermis responsible for hair growth CORRECT ANSWERS: Basal Removes hair by electrolysis (ie galvanic, thermolysis, blend) CORRECT ANSWERS: Electoylisis STRATUM GERMINATIVE CORRECT ANSWERS: (aka basal cell layer) stem cells undergo continuous cell division (mitosis) to replenish loss of the skin cells shed from the surface. Stem cells are basically the mother cells that divide to produce daughter cells. DEPILATION CORRECT ANSWERS: removes hair at level of skin EPLIATION CORRECT ANSWERS: removes hair from bottom follicle breaking contact between bulb+papulla (ie hard "coarse hair" + soft wax) WAX STRIP=COTTON MUSLIN + PELLON STRATUM GRANULOSUM CORRECT ANSWERS: (aka granular layer) granules and are filled with keratin. In this layer, enzymes dissolve the structures (desmosomes) that hold cells together. corneocytes- waterproof, protective cells, regenerates itself, detoxifies the body and responds to stimuli 3-5 rows of keratinocytes fill w/ keratin, starting to degenerate
