Hydrotherapy Flashcards
What are the organs of elimination ?
Spleen, kidneys, intestines, liver, and lungs
True or false the skin is the largest body organ weighing 16% of body weight
True
True or false, reaction refers to bodies response to stress ?
True
What area of brain acts as body’s thermostat?
Hypothalamus
Core temperature is cooler than skin temp ?
False : core 35degrees. Skin 33-35
True or false, there are four to ten times more heat receptors the cold receptors ?
False: there aRe four to ten times as many COLD. Receptors
Where are thermoceptors found ?
1) preoptic area of hypothalamus
2) SC, abdomen, internal structures
3) skin
What kind if pressure is this ?
When a body is immersed in a fluid the pressure exerted on it is equal at a constant depth and is exerted equally in a horizontal direction of any level. the pressure increAses with depth and increased density of water
Hydrostatic pressure
An upward force exerted on an object immersed in fluid, and upward force on an object in a fluid is equal to weight of the fluid that was displaced
Buoyancy
What is latent heat ?
The amount of heat required to produce a change in state
True or false. Water has a high specific heat, meaning it can give up and absorb large quantities of heat
True
The capacity of a substance to transfer heat to other substances
Thermal conductivity
Reaction in response to a stimulus that is applied to periphery of the body but enacted in a deeper structure
Reflex effect
Exchange of heat between two objects that are in direct contact with eachother ?
Conduction
Hot stone massage is an example of what kind of heat transfer
Conduction
The result of movement of heated gas or liquid between surfaces at different temperatures
Convection
Involves no externally applied heat, but uses energy through a substance to heat it
Conversion
Heat transfer that involves No direct contact between objects via infrared rays
Radiation
Temperature of cold
16-18
Neutral temperature
33-35
Hot temperature
39-41
Cold application that results in fluid being mobilized from the body surface to deeper structures is called what ?
Retrostasis
When does the hunting response occur ?
Tissue temperature reduced for 12-15min or brought below 10 degree C
What is the hunting response ?
An attempt by the body to ensure that peripheral body parts receive sufficient blood when exposed to cold so that it can resist tissue damage. Uses active derivation, drawing fluid from main pathway towards chilled tissue
Time period for acute inflammation
24-48 hours
True or false. The greater the temperature difference btw skin and cooling source the greater the resulting temperature change
True
Type of vasodilation response whee fluid moves away from body core towards the skin surface and does not require energy
Passive derivation
For every core temperature increaSe of 1 degree how much does the pulse rate increase ?
6-10beats
Highest level of decontamination, destroys every organism on surface
Sterilization
Harmful, disease producing, require living matter for growth
Parasites
Marble red and white blotches may be what kind of reaction?
Arterial reaction
Vascular flush can increase local blood flow by how much ?
100%
