question 9 (1 point)
if a cosmetologist places a comb flat against the nape, the location where the comb leaves the head is the ______.
○ a occipital bone
○ b parietal ridge
○ c crest
○ d apex

Explanation:

Question 7

The occipital bone is at the back base of the skull. The nape is the area below the occipital bone at the back of the neck/head. The sides are lateral, the back is a broader area, and the crown is the top. So the area below the occipital bone is the nape.

The parietal ridge is located on the side of the head. Placing a comb flat on the side of the head helps locate it. Placing on top (a) is for crown/top areas, option c is for finding intersections of back and side, and nape (d) is lower back/neck area, not related to parietal ridge.

When a comb is flat against the nape (lower back/neck area of the head) and moves up, the point where it leaves the head is the crest (a ridge-like area). The occipital bone is at the base, parietal ridge is on the side, and apex is the topmost point. So the location is the crest.

Answer:

b. the nape
