Anatomy & Physiology
This body system’s primary job is exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body.
What is the respiratory system?
This muscle is responsible for pulling the corners of the mouth downward.
What is the depressor anguli oris?
This system serves as the body's protective outer covering.
What is the integumentary system?
This is the single most effective method of preventing cross-contamination in the treatment room.
What is hand washing?
This modality is used to kill acne bacteria and reduce inflammation using specific color wavelengths.
What is LED therapy?
This is the number of identical daughter cells produced during mitosis.
What are two?
These three muscles control movements of the ear.
What are the auricular muscles?
This system controls and coordinates all other body systems.
What is the nervous system?
This level of decontamination destroys most microorganisms on non-porous surfaces but not spores.
What is disinfection?
This modality uses oscillating currents to create an oxygenating, antibacterial effect on the skin.
What is high frequency?
This structure forms the back portion of the skull.
What is the occipital bone?
When you bend forward, you are performing this muscle movement.
What is flexion?
This system eliminates carbon dioxide as a waste product.
What is the respiratory system?
This protocol must be followed step-by-step whenever there is blood involved in a service.
What is the blood exposure procedure?
This modality uses electrical current to tone facial muscles and improve contour.
What is microcurrent?
These microscopic powerhouses contain the protoplasm that supports all cellular functions.
What are cells?
This muscle is thin and flat, located between the upper and lower jaw, and compresses the cheeks during blowing.
What is the buccinator?
This system produces hormones that regulate growth, metabolism, and sexual function.
What is the endocrine system?
This type of chemical is never stored above eye level due to splash-risk and safety regulations.
What are disinfectants?
This chemical exfoliation category includes glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and citric acids.
What are AHAs?
This endocrine gland is known as the “master gland” because it affects almost every physiologic process.
What is the pituitary gland?
This part of a muscle remains stationary while the other end moves.
What is the origin?
This system protects the body from disease by developing resistances and destroying harmful toxins.
What is the lymphatic/immune system?
This device destroys all micro-organisms, including spores, using high temperatures.
What is an autoclave?
This galvanic modality polarity is used to drive water-soluble products deeper into the skin.
What is iontophoresis?
