Effects of Heat

Question 1

• a state of matter characterized by elevation of temperature
• perceived as the opposite to cold

Answer 1

heat

Question 2

Sources of heat generation

Answer 2

• Chemical heat production
• Mechanical heat production
• Electromagnetic heat production
• Electrical heat production
• Heat conduction

Question 3

heat produced as by-product of metabolism. This can be a result of exercise (walking or running)

Answer 3

Chemical heat production

Question 4

accomplished through friction e.g., rubbing hands or soles of feet together.

Answer 4

Mechanical heat production

Question 5

accomplished through absorption and conversion of various diathermies and
radiant energies

Answer 5

Electromagnetic heat production

Question 6

machine that produces a certain amount of electromagnetic radiation→producing
heat

Answer 6

Diathermies

Question 7

o when ions and molecules in a system is stimulated, the particles are accelerated,
and random kinetic energy is produced which gives rise to heat production.
o This can be seen when an electric current is passed through a conductor, the conductor becomes hot
after some time and produces heat.

Answer 7

Electrical heat production

Question 8

heat transfer

Answer 8

Heat conduction

Question 9

Different modes of heat transmission:

Answer 9

• Conduction
• Convection
• Conversion
• Radiation
• Evaporation

Question 10

heat transfer from a warmer object to a cooler object through direct molecular interaction
of objects in physical contact. Ex: frying pan and food

Answer 10

Conduction

Question 11

heat transfer by movement of air or fluid from a warmer area to a cooler area. Ex: Heater
(used during winter)

Answer 11

Convection

Question 12

heat is transfer by converting or changing one form of energy to another form of energy. Ex: Electromagnetic radiation into thermal energy.

Answer 12

Conversion

Question 13

transfer of heat from a radiant energy without any intervening medium. Ex: Oven, microwave

Answer 13

Radiation

Question 14

transfer of heat through steam. Ex: Spa

Answer 14

Evaporation

Question 15

Types of heating

Answer 15

Vigorous heating
Mild heating
Wet/moist heating
Dry heating

Question 16

is achieve by obtaining the highest tissue temperature in the area to be treated rapidly and is maintained for a relatively prolonged period of time; is applied during chronic condition

Answer 16

Vigorous heating

Question 17

have only small temperature elevation in the area to be treated; temperature is confined more at the superficial layer and maintained for a brief period of time and rate of temperature increase is slow

Answer 17

Mild heating

Question 18

type of heating where there is presence of sweat or fluid in the surrounding area being treated; can slightly heat deeper structures than dry heat

Answer 18

Wet/moist heating

Question 19

type of heating where the area to be treated is dry; more superficial structures can be heated

Answer 19

Dry heating

Question 20

the amount of heat required per unit of mass
to change the temperature to one degree Celsius

Answer 20

Specific heat

Question 21

the greatest amount of heat is developed in the region of greatest current density

Answer 21

Kirchoff’s law

Question 22

focuses on how the body reacts to a certain stimulus (stimulus)

Answer 22

Physiologic

Question 23

focuses on the recovery
side (how body can benefit from the stimulus)

Answer 23

Therapeutic

Question 24

The temperature of the epidermis and superficial subcutaneous tissues is raised

Answer 24

superficial heat

Question 25

alter the temperature of deeper tissues to a depth of around 5 cm (about 1.97 in).

Answer 25

deep heating

Question 26

superficial heat modalities

Answer 26

Hot packs, heating pads, paraffin baths, infrared, ultrasound, and fluidotherapy

Question 27

technique used by hot packs and paraffin baths to transmit heat directly between two items that are at different temperatures

Answer 27

conduction

Question 28

Fluidotherapy circulates liquid or gas across a body’s surface to transfer heat through

Answer 28

convection

Question 29

ultrasound and radiant heat uses ___ by changing one energy form into another.

Answer 29

conversion

Question 30

result by using hot packs and heating pads for an extended period, as well as from applying an excessively high heat source to the skin without a barrier

Answer 30

contact burns
