Question 23

internal structure damage tests

Answer 23

compression

Question 24

ligament damage tests

Answer 24

decompression

Question 25

machano receptors

Answer 25

monoters pressure on the skin

Question 26

thermo reptors

Answer 26

monotor temperature on the skin

Question 27

noci ceptors

Answer 27

monoter pain on the skin

Question 28

gate control theory of pain

Answer 28

- we reduce pain by massage, (rubbing the area reduces pain) efflerage - overstimulating - releasing more machano receptors to block the nociceptors

Question 29

inhibitatory techniques

Answer 29

``` (used to relax muscles) efflurage petrassage isometric techniques slow stripping etc ```

Question 30

stimulatory techniques

Answer 30

``` (used to tighten muscles) tapotment IMFS (the taser) fast striping (fast techniques) ```

Question 31

tendon reflex

Answer 31

(part of inhibatory techniques)

Question 32

muscle spindle adaptation

Answer 32

(part of inhibatory techniques)

Question 33

isometrics

Answer 33

unyeilding resistance | to lengthen the tight antagonist

Question 34

isotonics

Answer 34

yeilding resistance | strengthen weak agonist

Question 35

reflexive hyperemia

Answer 35

when blood rushes to the surface of the skin (not bruise) | ex - red skin from stripping

Question 36

muscle spindles

Answer 36

are sensory receptors that moniter the length of the muscle communitate to change the length of the muscle (inside muscle bellies) (attach to muscle fibers) (work with the spinal cord)

Question 37

annulospiral

Answer 37

``` cause muscle to contrac when muscle is being over stretched (stretch reflex) ```

Question 38

flower spray

Answer 38

constantly monoters muscle tone to make sure the | muscles are at nuteral

Question 39

action potential

Answer 39

spinal cord sends a massage to move a muscle

Question 40

sensory neuron

Answer 40

nerve cells responsible for touch & feeling | sensation

Question 41

reciprical inhabtion

Answer 41

the lengthening of antagonist | because of contraction of agonist

Question 42

GTO (golgi tendon organ) tendon reflex

Answer 42

located where muscle & tendon meet, when extra tension on the tendon, it sends a message to the spinal cord. (monotering tension) - starts the process of dropping an object thats to heavy

Question 43

tendon reflex

Answer 43

- GTO sends message to spinal cord - spinal cord blocks motor nerve - stops the impulse to contract
