True or False: The Viable epidermis consist of the stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and the basal layer. And the subset of the Viable epidermis is the Malpighii layer that consists of Stratum Spinosum and basal layer.

True

72
New cards

AC involves a constant reversing flow of electricity there is no

polarity (this is because In AC, that "positive" and "negative" flip back and forth many times a second. So, there isn’t a fixed "+" or "–" terminal because they alternate roles constantly.)

73
New cards

DC involves a direct flow of electricity so there

The polarity matters (it’s + one side and - the other)

74
New cards

List the substances produced with the galvanic electrolysis both positive and negative anode

Positive- Hydrochloric Acid and Chlorine gas

Negative- Sodium hydroxide and Hydrogen gas

75
New cards

Is it positive or negative galvanic electrolysis that is considered the ONLY permeant hair removal according to the FDA?

It is negative electrolysis because Positive galvanism (anodic electrolysis) does exist, but:

  • It’s not commonly used in hair removal.

  • It produces hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas, which are less effective and potentially more irritating.

  • It is not recognized or used as a standard modality in electrology for permanent hair removal.

76
New cards

You can safely assume that. If your exam question asks something like

“What substances are produced during galvanic electrolysis?”

...and it doesn't specify whether it's at the negative or positive electrode, then:

It’s referring to negative pole (cathode). Sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas
