Q

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

21
Q

Cold application that results in fluid being mobilized from the body surface to deeper structures is called what ?

A

Retrostasis

22
Q

When does the hunting response occur ?

A

Tissue temperature reduced for 12-15min or brought below 10 degree C

23
Q

What is the hunting response ?

A

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
