Question 1
What are the three concentric histological layers that compose a human terminal hair shaft from outside to inside?
Correct Answer:
Cuticula (Cuticle), Cortex (Faserschicht / Kortex), and Medulla (Markkanal)
Question 2
How is the protective Cuticle (Cuticula / Schuppenschicht) of a healthy hair shaft arranged and what is its primary function?
Correct Answer:
Composed of 6 to 10 overlapping, flattened, roof-tile-like layers of hard keratin scales pointing toward the hair tip, protecting the inner cortex from chemical and mechanical damage
Question 3
Which strong covalent chemical bonds cross-link parallel polypeptide chains in hair keratin, providing permanent structural strength and elasticity that can only be broken by chemical reducing agents (e.g., thioglycolate)?
Correct Answer:
Disulfide bonds (Disulfidbrücken / Cystinbrücken)
Question 4
Why can dry hair be temporarily reshaped into a new form (e.g., during water wave styling or curling iron blowouts) that reverses upon exposure to rain or high humidity?
Correct Answer:
Water molecules temporarily break weak Hydrogen and Salt bonds, allowing keratin alpha-helices to shift; when dried, the bonds reform in the new position until moisture breaks them again
Question 5
What is the active growth phase of the human hair follicle cycle, and what is its average duration on the human scalp?
Correct Answer:
Anagen phase (Anagenphase / Wachstumsphase), lasting approximately 2 to 7 years
